Tο Χρυσω της Κυριας Νιτσας Μπιτουνη εκανε ταξιδακια στον Αργοσαρωνικο απο το 1922 μεχρι το 1933. Ηταν η μικρη θαλαμηγος Queen Mab που ειχε ναυπηγηθει στα γνωστα μας ναυπηγεια Day Summers & Co του Southampton (τα ιδια που ναυπηγησαν το Φωκις και αλλα μικρα πλοια που ανεβασα προσφατα στη σειρα Προπολεμικων πλοιων).
Tο πλοιο ηταν μονο 117 τοννων, με μηκος 33.8 μετρων και πλατος 4.8 μετρων. Μικρουλη το κακομοιρο...
Chrysso was a small Greek passenger ship for the Argosaronikos route that was prominent in the late 1920s and 1930s. She was originally the yacht Queen Mab of the Day Summers & Co, a shipyard that provided many other small yachts to the Greek shipping companies.
Queen Mab was built in 1891 in Southampton, UK, and had just 117 tons. Her length was 33,9 m and her width barely 4,8 m! Her owner was a certain Nitsa Bitounis…

In http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showpost.php?p=203738&postcount=7 I wrote “Chrysso is doing a route of Aegina, Aggistri, Palaia and Nea Epidauros...

Here is one of many Argosaronikos schedules of Chrysso. This one from April 17, 1930
