Το Ιωαννα του Γιαννουλατου

Θα 'γραφα το Ιωαννα του Βασιλη Λασκου αλλα ισως να εμπλεκα μερικους φιλους. Εδω λοιπον παρουσιαζουμε το Ιωαννα που ειχε πλοιαρχο τον ηρωα Βασιλη Λασκο, λιγα χρονια πριν γινει πλοιαρχος του Λαμπρου Κατσωνη και χαθει ηρωικα στο στενο της Σκιαθου.

Παρ οτι στα τελη του το πλοιο ηταν περισσοτερο φορτηγο, παλαιοτερα ηταν γνωστο σαν επιβατηγο/φορτηγο ("suitable passenger accommodation) που ανηκε στην Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Co και εκανε ταξιδια απο το Coole στο Αμστερνταμ, την Αμβερσα, την Γανδη, την Δουνκερκη και την Κοπενχαγη.

Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway
Page 2: East Coast Services - Goole Shipping Co


The Goole Shipping Company was formed in 1864, and started carrying passengers in 1879. The first ships were named after directors of the company, of which only the Robert Crake of 1879 survived when they were taken over by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway (LYR) in 1905. The Ouse of 1884 initiated the use of northern river names, which were applied to most subsequent newbuildings. In 1895, the Humber SS Co and the Yorkshire Coal & Shipping Co were taken over, adding a total of eight ships to the Goole fleet.

Following the 1905 takeover, the LYR retained the Goole funnel colours of buff with a broad red band below a black top, and the Goole name was retained for use in publicity. Ownership passed to the London & North Western Railway (LNWR) in 1922, and then the London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) in 1923. Humber shipping interests of the LMS and London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) were combined into the Associated Humber Lines (AHL) in 1935, although individual companies retained their titles. The Goole Shipping Company operated routes from the Humber ports of Goole, Hull and Grimsby to a wide range of European destinations including Amsterdam, Antwerp, Dunkirk, Gent, Zeebrugge, Vlissingen, Hamburg and Rotterdam. They mainly operated small cargo/passenger steamers, but in 1906, the LYR started a summer service from Hull to Zeebrugge with the Fleetwood steamer Duke of Clarence. The service resumed after WW1, again with Duke of Clarence, until she was sold for scrap in 1930. For the next four years her place was taken by Duke of Connaught (2). After the formation of AHL in 1935, one of the Humber-based ex-Great Central ships such as Dewsbury operated the service. I also have a Hull-Zeebrugge postcard of Duke of Cornwall, although I have found no records of her sailing on the East Coast so far.
