Stefan Batory [Stefan, Maasdam]

[Roi Baudoin]

Let's see some photos of "Stefan Batory" in the Gulf of Aulis, close to Shipyards of Aulis.

About in 1998.

We stopped at the edge of the National Road, very close to the cement factory.

The beauty of the landscape, the sea, the superb-looking ship, the ungly cement factory, the forgotten temple of Artemis (very close to our stop).

One day, we should follow the Mythe.
We should try to go to the temple of Artemis alltogether.

Μια κάρτα της Polish Ocean Line, όπου εκτός του Stefan Batory στο κέντρο, απεικονίζονται και τέσσερα ακόμη πλοία τα οποία θα χαρακτηριζα φορτηγοποστάλια καθώς είχαν δυνατότητα μεταφοράς 8-12 επιβατών. Απο αριστερά πρός τα δεξιά και απο πάνω προς τα κάτω τα πλοία

Stefan Batory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The TS/S Stefan Batory was built in Holland in 1952 under the name of SS Maasdam and was initially used to service the Dutch East Indies by the Holland America Line.
She was bought from Holland in 1968 and began service as a Polish ocean liner in April 1969 as a replacement for the obsolete MS Batory, both named after Stefan Batory (1533-1586), the famous king of Poland.
After she was refitted and renamed she became the flagship of the Polish Ocean Lines in the 1970s and 1980s and mainly sailed from Gdynia—Copenhagen—Rotterdam—London—Montreal—Southa mpton—Rotterdam—Copenhagen—Gdynia. She remained in service until 1988 and was the last regularly scheduled transatlantic liner. She was scrapped in Aliaga, Turkey in May 2000.[1]

Το άλλοτε κραταιό υπερωκεάνειο σε μια αξιολύπητη κατάσταση...

Η πολυπόθητη μετασκευή σε κρουαζιερόπλοιο για τη Regency δεν έγινε ποτέ. Έτσι, με το όνομα του κουτσουρεμένο σε STEFAN, παρέμεινε αρόδο των ναυπηγείων Αυλίδος μέχρι που διαλύθηκε στην Τουρκία το 2000.
