    Προεπιλογή Photos of Delos

    DELOS 1

    I am delighted you started a thread on one of the most lovely cruise ships to grace the Aegean, Delos. In March 2007 I was at the free University of Berlin. While strolling at Unter den Linden, I stopped at the open book market in front of the Humboldt University in the old East Berlin. What a find! I came out with about 20 books including a leaflet that had been published in Germany (no publisher) about the history of Wappen von Hamburg/Delos/Xanadu/Fairmont. It has some glorious pictures that I have scanned and I am presenting here.

    Dedicated to Henry Casciaro who fascinates us with his brochures, britanis whose ship models we admire, Apollon who has dazzled us with his older Greek ship photos and Ellinis who continues to be the most knowledgeable in our ship!

    Delos was born as Wappen von Hamburg (i.e. the Coats of Arms of Hamburg, or O Thyreos tou Ambourgou) of Hafendampfschiffahrts-Actien-Gesellschaft (HADAG). She is so well known in Germany that she has her own Wikipedia reference! But look at the first one http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Wappen_von_Hamburg She was built for the extremely popular run between Hamburg and the island of Helgoland, a popular summer resort for Germans. See map here http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...20060423172837 and a picture of the harbor today here http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...20050905202844
    Check also http://www.cruiseshipodyssey.com/Helgoland.htm She was a clean, perfect ship with a speed of 17.5 knots when she was built in 1955 that became 21.5 knots (!) in 1961 with new engines... She came to Delos in 1961 and left us in 1967 or so...

    First, pictures from Germany when she was Wappen von Hamburg

    Below, a photograph (credit: Kramers of Dortmund) in 1955 while in Helgoland

    And here in Hamburg in a HADAG ad/postcard from 1959 with Bunten Kuh behind her. Can you guess which ship the last one became? Stella Solaris! http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/bunte_kuh_1957.htm

    Προεπιλογή the Delos years

    DELOS 4

    Eventually, Delos came to Greece as a Nomikos cruise ship. Think about it! The owners of the company with the smartest and youngest passenger ships were selecting as their flag cruise ship one of the most beloved German ships!!! Get it? German tourists flooded the Greek cruises with their favorite ship!..

    All these photos are from Nomikos brochures

    It seems that Xanadu Cruises had very colourful brochures, thanks for posting them Nicholas.
    As XANADU she sailed in 1972-77 and was then laid up until 1982.

    Before that she sailed in 1967-70 for Alaska Cruise Line as the POLAR STAR. In 1970 she went to West Cruise Line as the PACIFIC STAR.

    In 1982 she was sold to Pan Aleutian Seafoods to be used as a crab processing plant but remained idle and was sold in 1984 to become an exhibition ship and was renamed EXPEX.
    Xanadu Cruises bought her back in 1985 but she did not re-entered service.
    In 1991 she was sold to Friend Ships to become a mercy ship but once more nothing came out, except that she was renamed FAITHFUL.

    Her last renaming occured in 2003, becoming the XANADU 2, with a plan to become a floating hospital.

    Προεπιλογή Xanadu

    Aris and Nicholas there is a good four page in-depth review of this ships career by Peter Knego on his Vintage Passenger Ship Chronicles section in www.maritimematters.com. Have a look it really is quite detailed with some splendid shots and if you have'nt seen this website before it has some very interesting articles on an incredible number of historic vessels. Have a look!
    Best regards Henry.
