| Francesca | The "Francesca" was built by Russell & Co, Port Glasgow in 1905 for the Austrian company, Unione Austriaca. She was a 4946 gross ton vessel, length 359.8ft x beam 48ft, one funnel, two masts, single screw and a speed of 12 knots. There was accommodation for 30-1st, 50-2nd, and 1,500-3rd class passengers. Launched on 2/6/1905, she left Trieste on 27/8/1905 on her maiden voyage to Naples, Palermo and New York. She did 17 round voyages on this service, commencing her last run on 13/3/1908 and was then transferred to the South America service. In 1919 she went to the Italian Cosulich Line for whom she did one round voyage from Genoa - Naples - New York commencing 22/5/1919. I have no details after this until she was scrapped in 1926. She was probably laid up during this period. |
