[Nicholas Peppas]

Nicholas,

Happy New Year to you and thank you for your excellent information on this lovely vessel. Here are some illustrations to help visualise her colourful interiors. She was indeed a popular and happy ship.

Dedicated also to my good friends Ellinis,Britanis,Apollon,Appia etc. and all our other shipmates!

All the best
Henry

Its very interesting to see how they were inside, those converted seaplane carriers. Thanks for posting it.

I like the Verandah bar in the promenade deck. A bit too many colours, but those were the sixties!

Dear Henry and all

Here is an ad of another 10-day cruise of Rodos on April 19, 1967. She was going to Egypt (Alexandria), Lebanon (Beirut), Cyprus and Turkey (Constantinople)!

It is interesting that the top line says EASTER IN JERUSALEM!

Σε ευχαριστουμε φιλε TSS APOLLON για οσα υπεροχα ανεβαζεις ( και δεν κατεβαζεις)

[Ellinis]

Το ΡΟΔΟΣ ήταν από τα πιο αδικημένα πλοία των Τυπάλδων. Ήρθε το 1962, μετασκευάστηκε και μπήκε σε δρομολόγια το 1964 για να δέσει οριστικά το 1967.
Αντίθετα με το αδελφάκι του ΜΥΚΟΝΟΣ δεν του δώθηκε η ευκαιρία να ξαναταξιδέψει και έμεινε 20και χρόνια να σκουριάζει.

Fantastic photo from TSS Apollon of this classic Typaldos conversion. This ship together with the Myconos were superb little cruise ships which successfully captured the Aegean and East Med markets in the 60's and made this company so popular!

Thanks so much for this gem (it looks like a postcard)
Henry.

It is probably from a Typaldos Line brochure

Typaldos issued a brochure in 1963-64 that had the following

Thanks for this Nicholas, I too have a similar brochure from 1968 which was a guide for travel agents and is a great publication, but I think the earlier edition which you have is better with more detailed deck plans and photos

Cheers
Henry.
