Talk:SS Ithaka

Move to MV with triple expansion steam engine?

Sounds like SS, not MV with triple expansion steam engine. Possibly reengined before wreck, but no indication in text. Palmeira (talk) 17:49, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I followed the references used, which all called her MV Ithaca, but on inspection, you seem to be right, there's no indication she was re-engined that I can find. The somewhat sketchy sources had called her Ithaca, but her name does seem to have been Ithaka. The company owning her was called the 'Ithaka Shipping Company', as can be seen in the report of its winding up in 1962 (http://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00076860/00516/4j).

Ithaka NOT Ithaca

This reference has probably the most background that is actually included in text under final sale:

"Federal Commerce sold the Federal Explorer to the Ithaka Shipping Co Ltd of Nassau, owned by a Greek by the name of J Glikis, in 1960. Under the name Ithaka, she was lost only four months after the Federal Express, while on charter to Clarke."

Bowling Green State University has the Great Lakes Vessels Online Index with this entry giving vessel particulars including ownership and name changes, the final one to Ithaka. Palmeira (talk) 00:40, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
