The poor quality of the images below are due to very poor quality of the original pictures, plus heavy enlargement of the scans.
The Mallorca (2,352 grt, 309 ft. long) was built in 1914.
Like the Rey Jaime I and Romeu below, she was still sailing
for Trasmediterránea in the late 1960s - scrapped only in 1970.
The Rey Jaime I (2,320 grt, 316 ft. long) was built in 1911 and ended her life in 1968.
The J.J. Sister (1,554 grt).
She was built in 1896 for the Navigazione Generale Italiana as the Galileo Galilei,
but sold in 1910 to
Compañía Valenciana de Vapores de Correos de África,
one of the companies which merged to form Trasmediterránea
on January 1, 1917.
She was broken up in 1965.
The V. Puchol (1,552 grt) was named after Vicente Puchol Sathou, one of the founders of Compañía
Trasmediterránea.
She was a sister (originally the Marco Polo) of the J.J. Sister above, also built in 1896
and sold to the same Spanish company in 1910. She was sold for scrap in 1964.
The Poeta Arolas (3,498 grt, 316 ft. long) was built in 1919 and survived until 1966.
The Teide (3,829 grt, 355 ft. long) was originally the Crefeld, built in 1895, of the
North German Lloyd.
After a spell with Compañía Trasatlantica, she sailed for Compañíia Trasmediterránea
from 1925 to 1932, when she was wrecked off Fernando Póo in the Gulf of Guinea.
The Romeu (3,070 grt, 320 ft. long) was built in 1918. She came in the hands of African owners in 1971.
