These pictures are exceptional!!!! Do you know how rare the Adriatiki one is? Rogerio from Funchal, Portugal, a great collector, has been trying to find a postcard of her but in vain!

Think its ok this time. Cheers Henry.

These are also priceless but what is this about 9000 and 11000 tons? Not even gt would that be correct!

We have already returned to the past.....
In 1956 and a little later.
Henri Cashiaro, we thank you very much.
A wonderful present for all.


With Ellinis we have photographed some pages of "The Annual Bulletin of Piraeus".
The Editor was Port Authority of Piraeus S.A. (O.L.P.).

It's not the best result, but the pictures are really rare and unique.

A brochure for trips in 1956 (circa).

The bridge crane can be seen on the right in the first photo.

On the right, in the second photo, we can see a ship of Epirotiki Lines.
The dock area is really very different, in comparison with present.

Nicholas, this is probably an exaggerated displacement tonnage. Remember that displacement measurement is much greater than gross tons and can be several times the gt. Also the way it was calculated in those days could have been slightly different! Glad you enjoyed the photos.

[Henry Casciaro]

Roi Baudoin and Ellinis thanks for these rare and lovely pictures of Piraeus. I have some old postcards of the port which I have collected over the years and which I treasure. There is something very special about Piraeus which you cannot find anywhere else......its an atmosphere a magic or feeling which cannot compare with any other port!!
I have a copy of The Greek Ocean Liners 1907-1977 by AI TZAMTZIS which has some wonderful photos and pictures of Greek shipping and Piraeus port ..its a beautiful publication. Best regards Henry.

Britanis, I agree with you, now if only I could speak fluent Greek then the dream would be totally complete, and we could enjoy this great forum to the maximum.....but am sure our Greek friends don't mind speaking English occasionally at least for our benefit. In fact I think Greeks are very good English speakers!

Thanks for the fantastics cards/photos posted

[Ellinis]

Henry and britanis, the pleasure is also ours. It is not everyday one has the opportunity to see such photos and brochures. The photo of Athinai laid up at Kynosoura, the magnificient brochure of Mediterranean, the rare postcards... it's really unbelievable how much we have seen in so little time... just amazing!

Henry, thanks for these wonderful pictures. By the way, I think that our writing in Greek and having all the nautilia.gr articles searched by Google is helping this site. We have more and more international readers and contributors.
