Mια μερική άποψη του JUPITER (ή ΖΕΥΣ αν προτιμάτε) στην Πάτμο το 1973. Δεξιά φαίνεται μια χαρακτηριστική πλώρη που νομίζω ανήκει στο ΟΔΥΣΣΕΥΣ της Ηπειρωτικής επίσης.

Πράγματι το Οδυσσεύς είναι.

Good photo of Jupiter taken from a 1977 Thomson Cruises brochure advertising her cruises in the Mediterranean. With the stunning backdrop of Santorini it really makes an impressive photo!

Many thanks for the very interesting photo Henry. Am I seeing well that she has a white hull with red and blue line across it? I thought that this livery was put in 1978 for the charter to Wardair.

You are exactly right Aris and its something that has always confused me. If you look earlier on in the thread QAM also explains the same thing in more detail as he was personally involved but my question is why did the ship have those colours prior to 1978? surely it must have been due to the Thomson Charter which proves my original point that the stripes were there for Thomson and were left there for her subsequent charter to Wardair the following year (or so it seems)...

Interesting point Henry, it seems to make sense.

Interesting point Henry, it seems to make sense.

If further proof was needed here are some pages taken from an earlier Thomson brochure in my collection from the previous winter 1976/1977 which states that these are the two new ships chartered by Thomson for their Med programme. Clearly even though the ship photos are painted over thay had every intention of using that striped livery which was always their logo since they chartered the Ithaca, Calypso etc. in the early 70's.
