    19470121 HEIMARA .jpg
    A magnified version of additional important new information from this newspaper of January 21, 1947. Notice the mention of the corvette Patrai that was close to the sinking a few hours after the accident (Patrai will be discussed in another thread soon) as well as the requests of Korytsa and Eleni.

    This is additional information from Embros of January 22, 1947. This article blames the captain of the first small boat Ehei of Theos that went to the site of the sinking for not getting rid of his freight to take more passengers

    The same day, January 22, 1947, Embros had an excellent editorial written by one of the leading journalists of the 20th century, Nikolaos Ventiris, who was the general editor of the newspaper.

    His statement "Greece is a bit of a Heimara" remained in history...

    Προεπιλογή HEIMARA AS A TRUE PASSENGER SHIP IN GREECE

    A Personal Reflection.

    I was not born when the sinking of Heimara took place. But I remember it all my life as the biggest and most tragic maritime accident in Greece... I first read about it from a 1949 Almanac (Kazamias) that was talking about the accident. And when I was asking my father, he would depict a terrible sinking, a nauagio that shook the whole country... I was nine years old when the TAE airplane fell on Mount Dirfys. These two events took place in the general space of Evoia and both created a bad feeling about this state (nomos). I would never take a ferry to Styra because I was subconsciously afraid that the Erinyes of Heimara would follow me... And I did not follow my primary school to Stena, Evoias for our annual excursion, 'cause it was just too close to where TAE fell...

    But all these years, Heimara was a very cloudy, very foggy incident for me. It was far away, it was something that happened during the (civil) war and who knows what the conditions of travel were then... But a few years ago I realized that Heimara was Hertha, one of my old time favorite ships, a ship with which my maternal grandfather (who studied in Göttingen where he received his doctorate in 1903) had traveled in Northern Germany and had sent postcards back to Greece, to his German mother. I had two of these postcards (they have been uploaded here). So, Heimara was a more immediate affair for me and I had to learn more...

    Over the past three months (thank you Ari) I have researched every aspect of this ship, its arrival in Greece and its tragic loss... And now I know.... At age 40+ she was still a good ship, a great warrior and a true passenger carrier... So, now the Heimara nauagio is a important page of Greek maritime history but it is not any more a cloudy event... I wonder what would have happened to Heimara hadn't she sunk... probably she would have gone around another 10, maybe 15 years, like Teti, like Elsi, even like Moschanthi (although Moschanthi was an ugly duckling in front of the princess that was Heimara).

    So, reading these article about her sinking and the drowning of all these people, I have come to a closure, very much as I have come to a closure with the demise of Olympia that, entering the Souez canal, has entered Aheron, the gates of Hades from which she will not return.

    THE VOYAGES OF HEIMARA AS A GREEK PASSENGER SHIP

    I mentioned before that the demise of Heimara on a voyage from Thessaloniki to Piraeus had left many of us with the idea that she an one-route ship, that she was "demoted" to that "easy route" as she was a sapiokaravo (as modern, ignorant journalists who have read nothing about her want to say).

    But her short stay in Greece was full of surprises... Here is a nice summary of some of her routes, frankly, all over the country!

    THE SCHEDULES OF HEIMARA: PART 1

    --- October 12, 1946: To Chios and Mytilene and to Thessaloniki
    --- October 19, 1946: To Thessaloniki
    --- November 23, 1946: To Thessaloniki
    --- December 3, 1946: To Syros, Tenos, Mykonos, Ikaria, Vathy Samou, Karlovasi, then the next day to Volos, Thessaloniki
    --- December 14, 1946: To Thessaloniki and then to Chios and Mytilene
