To Hellenic Mediterranean Lines.
The Massalia (3,284 grt, 315 ft. long) was built in 1937 as the Bretagne for Fred. Olsen Line.
She was sold to Hellenic Mediterranean Lines in 1958.
She was withdrawn in 1967 and scrapped in the mid-1970s.
The Lydia (2,600 grt, 295 ft. long) was built in 1931 as the Moonta for the Australian
coastal service of the
Adelaide Steamship Co.
Acquired by Hellenic Mediterranean
in 1955, she was again sold in 1966. Moved to
Le Barcarès close to Perpignan, France, and having been a leisure center,
casino and night club over the
years, she is now preserved as a museum ship.
The Media (1,410 grt, 267 ft. long) was built in 1936 as the Fasan of the Argo Line.
Taken over by Hellenic Mediterranean in 1958, she was
broken up ten years later.
