s.s. "Philidora"
Shell Tankers BV, ship built in 1959 by Bethlehem Steel, USA, deadweight 50.125 ton.
s.s. "Philidora" is one of the vessels of the "PH-class". They were built during the cold war. They were equipped for navigating in convoy and had extra engine power for navigating faster than 16 knots. All cabins had a lot of beds, so the ships could be used as a kind of troopship. Every cabin had a plate, on this plate was stated how many people could sleep inside. The ships were long-time chartered to the US Government. After some time the barbarian cabins were modified to the modern standards.
