There are only 5 cards from this port that I have in this collection. I believe this is because it was a short visit and, the cards cannot be identified as being from the cruise, and from Greece. The photographer, in an effort not to write over the photograph with a title, wrote in the area that would be the frame. Unfortunately, this was cut in half on almost all of the cards, and without this, you would have to know by the subject of the photo where it was taken. As I acquired this collection one-card-at-a-time on ebay, I was outbid on cards that I could not identify as to the location of the photo 🙁
This card shows a vender with local produce bringing his bags and buckets onboard ships for delivery to the cooks. From the photographs below, you can see that the first word in the above photograph is Greece.
For the titles on these cards, the second is British Ship, and the third is Russian Battleship. The Russian ship appears to be of the Borodino-class battlecruiser that was part of the upgrade planned by Czar Nicholas the II. They were built in St. Petersburg, Russia. There were 5 of these ships constructed, 3 were sunk at the battle of Tsushima Straits, one was captured and used by the Japanese navy, and one was still in construction at the time of the war, Slava, which would likely be seen here in Greece. She is recorded with rescuing survivors during the earthquake in Messina, taking the casualties to Naples for medical care.
