    Προεπιλογή Μεσσαριά [Polhem, Landskrona, Blekinge, Messaria, Aghia Kyriaki, Ancient]

    Here is another small, forgotten and truly unusual passenger ship that served the Greek seas just after World War II. Messaria came from a far away place where she tasted bad seas and ice. She was so old and so small as to be questionable for long runs. But she did do some long routes in Greece... And her demise has left quite a few of us wondering if she is still alive somewhere in Lesvos ...

    She was built as the passenger ship Polhem in 1889 (!) by Ångfartygsbolaget in Visby, the capital of the island of Gotland, a Swedish island in the East of Sweden, In Baltic Sea. She was just 35.9 or 37 m long (can you believe it?) and just 7.2 or 7.4 m wide! Her speed was a mere 9.5 knots.

    Here is her Miramar entry

    As noted above, from 1889 to 1928, Polhem served traffic to and from Gotland... And what traffic it was! I am uploading here a postcard of the vessel from our reliable Simplon postcards source http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/Gotland.html#anchor187931

    Then, http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/polhem_1889.htm has some more photos of the ship, four of which I present here, including the heroic pictures of Polhem pulling Hansa (http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/Gotland.html#anchor101549) in the icy water of the Visby harbor in 1922!
