I thank you both for your kind comments. It is always a great delight for me to "discover" such documents! BTW, I was particularly impressed with Aekaterini that could do two ship to Tenos in just one day!

Ships going to Tenos for the Dekapentacgoustos 1905 (Skrip newspaper of August 12, 1905).

Antigone was a McDowall & Barbour ship. She was built as a passenger/cargo ship of 923 tons by Tod & McGregor of Meadowside in 1873. http://www.gregormacgregor.com/Tod&M...burns_line.htm She was named Owl and belonged to J.& G. Burns. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Geo...s,_1st_Baronet Owl was 70 m long and 9.2 m wide. See also http://www.gregormacgregor.com/Tod&M...or/Owl_168.htm

The Burns brothers, James & George, entered shipping as agents for one of the three concerns running the Glasgow - Liverpool route and based themselves in Greenock. Their agency interests extended to a proposed Belfast-Glasgow steamer service and by 1826 they decided to operate this themselves. The Liverpool route became controlled by the Burns brothers in 1829 and they became associated with David MacIver. Together they founded what later became the Cunard Line. They also entered the West Highlands trade in 1835, but in 1851 they sold these ships to David Hutchenson, along with the ships of the Castle Line, which they had purchased in 1848

Here are two ads from the Official Cunard Album and Guide.

She transferred to McDowall & Barbour in 1901 and was named Antigone. She was scrapped in 1929.

Here are some unusual ads from Dekapentavgoustos 1963 on Kavounides Line. They used their ships as hotels! For 500 drachmas you could go to Tenos, have a dinner and sleep on the ship! Also note that one of the ships was clearly a cruise ship, Carina. August 11, 1963

Στο ένθετο "Βιβλιοθήκη" της Ελευθεροτυπίας (Παρασκευή 8 Αυγούστου 2008).
Το αφιέρωμα είχε θέμα "Η Ελλάδα του Μεσοπολέμου"

Θέμα που ταιριάζει γάντι στον Νicholas Peppas και τον Ellinis.

Thank you for this... Taking a ship in the 1930s was a big thing!
