The
MV Doulos Story, from her original building as the SS medina in 1918 to when
she became the Doulos in 1977, and her tragic sale in 2010, which saw her
landlocked to become a wretched hotel & resort

Introduction:
Welcome
to ssMaritime.net. During 2016 &17 I have managed to
update some of the Doulos pages, but sadly I am no longer able to do anything further
due to health reasons, as I was forced to conclude most of my work! Therefore,
I will now only occasionally update this page if able, but I do have the Doulos
located with any news, etc on my Save The Classic
Liners Campaign page.
Looking Back:
Besides
creating my 29 page feature on the MV Doulos with the ships complete history,
with countless photographs as well as my history that goes back to when she was
the MV Franca C and my two exciting experiences on her with my last voyage on
being when she was in Australia
for the very last time in 2008. In addition, I have written well over 1,116
Classic Passenger Liners, Passenger-Cargo Liners, including
a good number of humble Migrant ships, many of
these being converted War-Time Victory Class ships, such as the type C3 &
C4 Class Vessels. Some of these ships were rebuilt into rather humble Migrant
Liners, whilst others became far more modern and even glamorous Migrant Liners,
such as Flotta Lauro’s TSS Roma and Sydney, as well as Sitmar’s TSS
Fairsky, and these ships made significant inroads into maritime history. I hope
that through the pages off ssMaritime you will discover many wonderful
memories, be it for those past passengers and their relatives who may have
sailed on these wonderful ships, from days of old until their demise in the
late 1970s.
