Chrysso was a small Greek passenger ship for the Argosaronikos route that was prominent in the late 1920s and 1930s. She was originally the yacht Queen Mab of the Day Summers & Co, a shipyard that provided many other small yachts to the Greek shipping companies.
Queen Mab was built in 1891 in Southampton, UK, and had just 117 tons. Her length was 33,9 m and her width barely 4,8 m! Her owner was a certain Nitsa Bitounis…

See also http://www.plimsollshipdata.org/ship...69&name=Chryso although the information there is incorrect and confusing.
In http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showpos...38&postcount=7 I wrote “Chrysso is doing a route of Aegina, Aggistri, Palaia and Nea Epidauros... Now this is a "regular" passenger route that I have not seen before. But then, who know how small Chrysso was... Erietta-size?”. Guess what! She was that small… Just 117 tons!
Here is one of many Argosaronikos schedules of Chrysso. This one from April 17, 1930
