Actually Fraser with an "S".
"It is forgotten by most now that Lew and his brother Frank L Fraser Jr formed Pan American Cruise Lines, of which Lew was president, in 1965, and chartered an Israeli ship, the Nili, to cruise from Miami. On hearing of the owner’s financial condition, however, Pan American ended the charter and a company called Arison Shipping stepped in and took over, but ended up with no ship. This led to the charter of another ship called the Sunward, but that’s another story. The passing of Lew Fraser closes an interesting chapter in the cruising history of Miami."

Arison ended up without the ship as Nili was seized in November 1966 by the Israeli government after its owner, Nili-Somerfin Car Ferries, Ltd., failed to meet mortgage payments

Thanks Adrian, good idea. I'll do that. 😉

Could get around part ship rules by putting it in Funnels

ADMINS.. Delete or Keep?
It appears she carried this livery/funnel colours for one year only.

Thanks v much Yvon and Peter.

I was just double checking the details of her history and charters, and then Peter has nailed it with the 'F' for Frazer Brothers.
Excellent work which is much appreciated.

Just to mention why I suggested Floridian waters (although the water colour appears more Danish!), I have several other slides from the same source taken in Miami - careful observation of the background made me liken it to the Miami harbour (in the day)so was trying to link this one in.

If the location is Nassau, that is fine by me ;-)

This is definitely NILI, probably taken in Nassau when on charter to Frazer Bros in mid 1960s, hence the F on the funnel. Was built as a ferry for an Israeli company.

Hello Rick,
Could be NILI (IMo6420214).
