Fantasia [Duke of York]

[Ship's Agent]

Dear friends

Enjoy SS FANTASIA postcards when she sailed with Chandris colors.

Back in 1953, while working for British Rail, she lost her entire bow in a collision with a Victory-type freighter.
Check the damage at those photos: 1 2 3 !

[TSS QUEEN ANNA MARIA]

Looking at the Fantasia pictures the lines of the ship bring to mind another Harland & Wolf built ship also owned by Chandris, the Amerikanis. The first was designed as a cross-channel ferry while the latter as an African trader for Union Castle Line, but nevertheless, Fantasia looks like a smaller and older version of Amerikanis.

DUKE OF YORK minus her bow, it's incredible how she survived...

Να ακόμα μία φωτογραφία του FANTASIA κατά τον ετήσιο παροπλισμό του, από το shipsnostalgia. Αριστερά του φαίνεται η τσιμινιέρα του CARINA II.
