In the early 1950s it seemed as if Greek shipping companies were
springing up everywhere. For a country almost unknown as a
passenger ship-owning state, the likes of the Greek Line, Chandris
and Epirotiki burst onto the scene, often using second hand tonnage
and ships acquired from the Western European fleets that were being
updated. The lines soon took advantage of the mass emigration from
Europe to Australia and New Zealand as well as cruising, which was
then in its infancy. Although many of the Greek lines such as Royal
Olympic Cruises are now gone, the likes of Chandris still survives
today as Celebrity Cruises. Bill Miller, the noted maritime
historian, brings together a collection of images of his favourite
Greek liners and tells of the history of the Greek fleets that made
the world of cruising so exciting in the last half century.
