Malcolm, I believe this vessel was built in 1948 at the Elsinore Shipyard ( Helsingør ) in Denmark as Rhodos - together with Samos and Lemnos. A fourth vessel, Melos was bult at Frederikshavn Shipyard also in Demark.

All four vessels were sold in 1968 to Associated Levant Lines in Beirut, Lebanon, which, I think, was the DFDS agent there.

Regards.
