In http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=53792 I had already prepared a short version of Kronos with the following information
Kronos was a ship of the ********* tis Ellados, a wonderful little ship, a yacht-type. I have a picture but it is under a strict copyright, so I cannot produce it here. Kronos was built in 1882 as Rover, a 424 ton yacht for the Earl of Eglinton. She was built by Ramage & Ferguson in Leith and launched on January 21, 1882. She had a length of 175 ft, breadth of 27.5 ft and 85 HP.
After several owners and names, she was bought by Diakakis Lines in Greece in 1923 and named Kronos. In 1929, the Diakakis Lines became part of the ********* tis Ellados. She became Skyros in 1933 belonging then to the ******** *********. The ship was scrapped in May 1940.
I have now a nice photograph of Kronos

Kronos' entry in Miramar is as follows:
Thus, as Rover she was the yacht of Earl of Eglinton in SW Scotland, passing then to Sir G. Lampson as Miranda in 1887 and to Frenchman A. Peynaud as Semillante and Uarda. She came to Greece in 1923 as a Diakakis Line ship and was an all-purpose small ship. For example, on July 20, 1929 she was doing the route: Piraeus, Syros, Chios, Kardamyla, Volissos, Psara, Lemnos, Aghios Rustratios, Samothraki, AlexandroupolisIDNo: 1084932 Year: 1882
