This is a very well known Greek passenger ship. She started as Kriti (Crete in all foreign references) in 1881, having been built as a brand new ship by Goudes Line! And after 41 years, she was sold to Yannoulatos Line in 1922 and named Kerkyra. She was forced to mandatory retirement early in 1934.
She should not be confused with the subsequent Kriti http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=68590 the former Elena M.
Her characteristics are shown in Miramar.
