Photo Description

The Steamship (S.S.) Regina, originally built in 1939, was christened S.S. Panama for Panama Line, formerly Panama Railroad Steamship Line. In 1941, the United States Army Transport Service converted her to a troop carrier and renamed her James Parker. By 1957, she was sold to American President Lines, formerly Dollar Steamship Lines. She was renamed President Hoover to replace another of American’s steamships by the same name. In 1964, she was acquired by Chandris Cruises and renamed Regina. She was scrapped in 1985 as S.S. Regina Prima. This image shows the S.S. Regina anchored in Kingstown Harbor, Saint George, Saint Vincent. A steal pan band is gathered in front of a Chandris Cruises sign. The sign features the Greek Chi symbol which is placed on the funnel of Chandris ships to honor the founder’s Greek heritage. In the distance is a view of Kingstown, including the white tower of Saint George's Cathedral. In the nearby harbor are boys, some in row boats and others swimming in the sea. Slide labeled St. Vincent SS Regina, Feb. 1968.
