Port broadside view of S.S. EUGENIE LIVANOS at Cardiff Docks, about 1936.

Greek-owned tramp steamers were a familiar sight in Cardiff, many of them having been built originally for Cardiff owners. An exception was the 4,816 gross ton Eugenie Livanos built in 1936 by Gray of West Hartlepool for Livanos Bros. of Piraeus. She was one of eight similar vessels built new for this firm in British yards in 1936-8. (Source: Shipping at Cardiff: Photographs from the Hansen Collection 1920-1975 by David Jenkins, 1993).
