I am starting today with the presentation of a number of passenger ships that were doing the North and South Evoikos routes, from Aliveri to Karystos and Kymi, often with stops (or starts) from Rafina. Many were continuing to the northern Cyclades islands.

I presented already the steamship Karystos of 130 tons. http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=71540

Another Karystos was named Karystos Togia and was short-lived although much bigger than the first one! She was built in 1869 and had 845 tons. (see http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthr...020#post233020)

Kostas (see http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthr...026#post233026) was a small ship that seemed to have concentrated on the Southern Evoikos routes all the way to Karystos. She belonged to the Togias family and is often confused with Constantinos Togias! (see tp://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=71543)

But there was another Constantinos, a small ship belonging to the well known Hatziconstantis Bros Line. See http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthr...037#post233037
A versatile ship active in the 1910s and 1920s, Constantinos had 213 tons..

Constantinos Togias established a small shipping line in 1894 with basis in Karystos of Evoia. In the early 20th century he has just two ships, Constantinos Togias and Vasiliki.

A small passenger ship of just 182 tons (!) Vasiliki was built in 1879 and avoided the mandatory retirement of 1932, although she was already 53 years old...

Here is a May 29, 1921 schedule between Piraeus and Karystos when Vasiliki was still a Togias ship!

In 1923, she was sold to the Ritsonis Bros Line of Chalkis and was placed in the Northern Evoikos Line (see schedules of December 20, 1923, May 16, and 21, 1924) all starting from Chalkis.
