Any one with more details please contact me.

The first boat trip in my life i did with Miaoulis in 1978, from Piraeus to Amorgos. I was a baby....

Kolokotronis had 2 named actually! Kolokotronis and Georgios Potamianos (She was the only of the 4 not owned by Nomikos-she was owned by Epirotiki of the Potamianos family!). She received one name, in the 1970s, when she was sold and renamed Achilleus!

Thanks for the extra information Ralph. I have not seen the others you mention.

Another one was the KANARIS.

She was one of a class of ships, built in Italy as war reparations for Greece. Others that I know of were the KARAISKAKIS and KOLOKOTRONIS.
