Yes, she was handsome (along with her sister Karadeniz) but then so were the other Turkish liners;Ege, Izmir, Marmara, Iskenderun and Samsun.

For me,, this was the most beautiful Turkish passenger ship ever .................


: owned by the Turkish state owned Shipping company (with the insignia of 2 anchors on the funnel) ..... a very esteemed & important Shipping company in that era.

I remember well that era ...in back a cargo of LINEA FASSIO could be GIMMI or GIUANIN FASSIO saluti da Milano.
