Sorry in Deutsche Handelsflotte 69/70 of course as WAGRIEN

There is apparently a drawing of 5251628 as KELLENHUSEN in Deutsche Handelsflotte 1965 and I assume that this is the one that doesn't match the profile.

Meanwhile, this may be the answer to the problem over the date: although the registers (including the Greek one) have 1975 for the change of name, I found this in "Itzehoer Schifffahrtschronik" by Herbert Karting "In 1962, Peter Döhle, Hamburg [as in the PWR photo], was the next to manage the vessel, which sold the WAGRIEN in June 1968 to Captain Hans Kühl from Itzehoe. When in 1974 a newer ship offered for sale, which in turn received the name WAGRIEN, he sold his former one to Greece. Here it belonged to the shipping company G Karlovitz & G Papadopoulos in Piraeus, initially called THEOXENIA II"

This puts the sale in 1974. It is possible that the ship was briefly under another flag (or stayed under the German flag) before reaching Greece - or that only on arriving in Greece did the owner find that could not use the intended name THEOXENIA as there already was one, so hurriedly adding "II". Just ideas!

Heizer and others are indeed correct, she is TEOXENIA (II) IMO 5384607.
She has an identical profile (matching in Deutsche Handelsflotte 69/70)
Also the foto of PWR proves the same.
THEOXENIA (IMO5251628) has a very different profile !

Hello
I have solved the mystery !
I found this morning in an old family album ,a 1974 pic of my daughter on the wharf , just in front of the ship where we can read perfectly her name on the bow : Theoxenia . As a family pic I can't add it on the site to confirm .
thanks to all for your interest about my picture

I supose quite likely that the two trawler/cargo conversions done in Germany within a few years of each other would follow the same overall design approach.

Yes, from this angle she seems to be THEOXENIA II. But then, maybe the photo date is wrong ? THEOXENIA II was only active under that name for a short time in 1975 and quickly renamed FILOTHEOS.

I am not very convinced she's THEOXENIA II. She didn't have that name in 1974 when this photo was taken (she was bought, renamed and registered at Piraeus in 1975), and also the bow looks a bit different to me. Plus the name on her bow is clearly THEOXENIA (without the "II") although i know that doesn't mean anything. It would be interesting to find other photos of IMO 5251628 to clear this up...

THEOXENIA II (IMO 5384607) does look a good match for WAGRIEN:

Hi,
Could she be THEOXENIA (IMO5251628), launched on 1942 as naval trawler and rebuilt in 1952 ? I cannot find pics after conversion.
Regards,
Yvon
