Malolo
Malolo - Matsonia - Atlantic - Queen Frederica
 
 
Built in 1927 as Malolo for Matson Lines. In 1937 she was renamed Matsonia. Home Lines bought her in 1948 and renamed her Atlantic. In 1954 she was transferred to National Hellenic American Line (a Home Lines subsidiary) and named Queen Frederica. She retained this name when the National Hellenic American Line was bought by Chandris Lines in 1965, who continued to use both company names on the postcards shown below. She had a summer charter with UK-based Sovereign Cruises from 1970, operating Mediterranean fly-cruises out of Palma to Barcelona, Algiers, Naples. Genoa and Cannes. She was laid up in the River Dart (England) and Perama Bay (Greece) from 1973, until burnt out and then scrapped in 1978.
