This ship is best known as Kanaris because that's how she left her reputation in the 1920s and ealy 1930s.
She was built though as Walrus by the J&D Thomson Clydebank shipyards in 1878 for the G & J Burns Shipping Company in Glasgow. She had 870 tons, 70 m length and 9.3 m width. She had a service speed of 13 knots.
It is reported that she was bought by the Greek Navy in 1881 and renamed Psara. Then in 1890 she was named Kanaris
Here is Miramar's listing

I am appending here a schedule of the company from July 23, 1928 showing a rather interesting connection between Thessaloniki and Crete via Piraeus

Clearly, the ship was good enough to do such routes. In fact, despite her age of 50 she was quite a good looking vessel!
