    Προεπιλογή Himara

    Himara was a main Greek center in North Epirus. Its history is well known to all Greeks... For people interested in maritime events, Himara's name has been associated with the biggest maritime accident in the Greek passenger history, the 1946 loss of the passenger ship Himara that was traveling from Thessaloniki to Piraeus...

    Here is a photograph of Himara around 1995.

    Προεπιλογή Κωνσταντινούπολη

    Mια φωτογραφία της Κωνσταντινούπολης, πιθανότατα του 1922-23, τότε που οι Ρωμιοί πλημμύριζαν τα σοκάκια της.

    Η φωτογραφία είναι τραβηγμένη από το Γαλατά και σε πρώτο πλάνο ένα υπερωκεάνειο με 2 φουγάρα ξεχωρίζει από τα φορτηγά που περιμένουν στις εκβολές του Κεράτιου.

    Πρέπει να είναι το NEW YORK, ένα όμορφο σκαρί ναυπηγημένο το 1888 ως CITY OF NEW YORK, από τα πρωτοπόρα υπερωκεάνεια μαζί με το αδελφάκι του CITY OF PARIS.

    Να και το σχετικό απόσπασμα πως βρέθηκε στην Πόλη:

    In 1922 she went to the Irish American Line and later the same year to the United Transatlantic Line. On June 10th 1922, she left New York for the last time for the American Black Sea Line on a voyage to Naples and Constantinople where she was sold for demolition at auction by order of the US government. The New York spent her last days in Genoa, where she was scrapped in 1923.
    Πηγή με φωτο και περισσότερα για την ιστορία του.

    Για την εταιρεία αυτή που προσέγγιζε και σε Ελληνικά λιμάνια θα γράψουμε σύντομα εδώ.

    Η φωτο είχε δημοσιευτεί στο περιοδικό Αργώ χωρίς σχόλια για την ταυτότητα του πλοίου.

    You are probably right she is the City of New York towards the end of her carrier. She was an Inman Line ship and she held the Blue Riband (eastbound only) in 1892 for a few months! 17.550 tons, 20 knots

    Προεπιλογή

    Ari: Since you brought Constantinople for discussion here is a 1904 postcard of Bosporus just north of the city, at Buyuk Dere. The area just north of Therapia (see above) used to be known as Vathys Kolpos and was populated by the Christians of the city. It was their summer residence. In the lower part of the village (seen here), lived the Armenians and Greeks while in the upper part, on the hill, one could see the summer residences and gardens of the various ambassadors.

    Here is a passage from A Handbook for Travelers in the Ionian Islands, Greece, turkey, Asia Minor and Constantinople, published by John Murray in London in 1845
    "on the fine moonlight nights, when the dark blue sky mingles with the deep blue of Bosphorus (sic)... when caiques full of Greek singers and guitar-players glide with their tones along the banks, and the balmy air of the night wafts the softest Ionian melodies over the waters...."

    Προεπιλογή Kydoniae

    Kydoniae (Aivali) were a major Greek center in the Aegean about 100 km north of Smyrna. A rich center of Hellenism it vanished in 1922.

    Here is a photograph from 1898

    Προεπιλογή

    This is a map showing the Greek regions that Eleutherios Venizelos would attempt to place under Greek Influence in Paris. His request included Avlon, Veration, Monastirion, Philippoupolis, Adrianople, Raidestos, Saranta Ekklisies, Constantinople, all Asia Minor, all Pontus, Crete and all Propontis (Marmara)

    I do not want to be misunderstood and this Forum is not the place for political discussions. I am uploading this nice map that indicates major Greek population expansion in the late 1910s and how the Treaty of Sevres had decided to allocate the lands... Of course we all know what happened in 1922...

    Προεπιλογή Alexandria Aegiptou

    Alexandria... What wonderful Greek neighborhoods in the 19th century, what wonderful cultural life.... Greek started populating it long time ago in the 19ths century there was a huge Greek community in Alexandria that flourished beyond belief... Cretans, Rhodians, Cassians, Carpathians, Constantinopoliteans, Pontians and many Elladikoi Greeks from mainland Greece moved to Alexandria.

    Earlier this year I published a book VASSO ARGYRIS: The life of a “wonderful singer” revisited. Argyris (1907-75), whose family came originally from Rhodes, was born in Alexandria and studied music there. After an early career in the Greek cinema (he was the jeune premier in the Gaziadis movie Exo ftohia of 1932, costarring with Vasso Manolidou) and after recording several popular hits of that period he left for Austria and Germany. In the 1930s he became the leading tenor of the Berlin State Opera and then in the late 1940s he was the main tenor of the New York City Opera.

    In my book, I have used extensively pictures and postcards from old Alexandria and I would like to share some with you here.

    Alexandria harbor in 1916.
    Alexandria was the main port of Egypt and a very important commercial center in the 1875-1940 period. Alexandria had direct connection with Marseilles, Naples, Genoa, Piraeus, Constantinople and Odessa with fast passenger ships (photograph from the author’s collection)

    Zizinia Theater in Alexandria in 1910
    (postcard from the author’s collection)
    The Zizinia Theater was located on rue Rosette. It was built in 1863 by Greek merchant Menander Tzitzinias (Zizinia in Italian). Ulysses Lappas made his first stage appearance there in 1903, as a member of the children's chorus in "Carmen" at the Zizinia opera house. Sarah Bernhardt appeared then in 1907. The theater was demolished in 1916 and replaced in 1926 by the Mohamed Ali Theater, later changed to Sayed Darwin Theatre, and now the Alexandria Opera House. In the 1920s, it was commonly called the Zizinia Theater.

    Antoniades Gardens near the Mahmudiya canal in Alexandria (1907).
    The Antoniades Gardens were a staple of early twentieth century
    Alexandria and were a nice meeting place of the European community of Alexandria

    Προεπιλογή Alexandria 2

    Again, sections from my book VASSO ARGYRIS: The life of a “wonderful singer” revisited.

    The Moharrem Bey quarter of Alexandria was located along the northern side of the Mahmudiya canal. The quarter had many fine houses and gardens stretching eastward for a considerable distance and was a favorite residence of wealthy citizens. These were very beautiful times for the Greeks of Alexandria who were noble and rich, truly some of the best Greeks outside of Greece who were always helping the mother country. This Greek community of Alexandria produced cultural figures such as the poet Costa Cavafy, the tenors Ulysses Lappas (1890-1975) and Nicola Filacuridi (1921-2009), the actor and singer Georges Guetary and so many others, including of course Vasso Argyris (1907-75). [NB: In much later times, the popular singer Dakis was Egyptiot]

    Greek Alexandrine boat Olga 1909

    Here is a small passenger boat called Olga. She carries a Greek flag

    Aeschylos-Arion Theater of the Greek community of Alexandria
    This postcard was issued to raise funds for the completion of the building in 1926
    Aeschylus-Arion 1925.jpg

    The French Passenger Ship L'Equateur (Messageries Maritimes) in Alexandria
    This ship was doing the trade of East Mediterranean sea for many years
    Built in 1875 in La Ciotat, she was quite big, 3,716 tons, and stayed with its first company for 47 years, until its scrapping in 1922...

    Lightbulb Ο σταθμός της Μακρονήσου

    Δεν είναι εικόνα από την Τραπεζούντας αλλά θεωρώ ότι σχετίζεται με τους ανθρώπους που έζησαν στα παράλια του Εύξεινου Πόντου. Η φωτογραφία είναι από τον υγειονομικό σταθμό της Μακρονήσου στα 1922. Η λεζάντα αναφέρει: «Εδώ περιθάλπονταν οι 6000 Έλληνες πρόσφυγες από την Τραπεζούντα, που μόλις είχαν φτάσει με ατμόπλοια.»



    Πηγή: Από το blog της Τ. Μήτρου.
