Τοπικά πλοία της Θεσσαλονίκης [Local Ships of Thessaloniki]
Immediately after the liberation of Thessaloniki, smaller coastal shipping companies were established to serve areas around the city and the prefecture (nomos). I am summarizing below a few of them, all from ads in Makedonia, Thessaloniki's prominent newspaper.
It must be noted (as it will be presented in other threads) that numerous nationally-known passenger ships were serving Thessaloniki and connecting her with Piraeus, Volos, Mytilene, Chios, Crete, Patras and even Corfu. They included Alkmini, Chios, Neilos, Popi and many others. Just to see the diversity of travel from Northern Greece in those days, please look at teh schedule of June 13, 1925 from Thessaloniki.

Panaghia in Thessaloniki: A mystery
Here is an ad from August 7, 1932 that will create some confusion....
Panaghia going from Thessaloniki to Nea Mihaniona!
Συνημμένο Αρχείο 56427
But which Panaghia is this? The ad says it is a fast "yacht". And Lloyd Register does have a yacht, a 294-ton yacht, belonging to Kymaiki Atmoploia in 1931 and to N. Pappas in 1932 (but not later)! Surprise! Her previous name was Joyeuse and she had a length of 144.3 ft and width of 22.1 ft.

The problem is of course that Lloyd lists another (?) Panaghia of slightly different size built in 1898 as well..

Local boats in Thessaloniki
In a scientific meeting brochure I received today from Thessaloniki there is a nice photo of an old boat that was doing local trips in Thermaikos Gulf. Although it has letters superimposed on it, I think it is worth posting
