Delphin/Nausika is one of the most famous Greek passenger ships of the early 20th century. The reason I keep the two names in the title is because this ship was equally known in both incarnations.

Batavier was built as a paddle wheeler. In 1882-83 she was rebuilt into a screw steamer 731 of tons. In 1895 she was transferred to Wm. H. Müller & Co. In 1897 she was renamed Batavier I. After the Netherlands and at the age of 34, Batavier came to Greece as the only ship of Cominos Line and was renamed Delphin. She was sold to Yannoulatos’ Ionian Shipping Co, and then in 1919 to Nisiotiki Steam Shipping Co (not Chios Steam Shipping Co as mentioned above).
