The four “Port of Elizabeth Class” Liners were sold in 1971 to Michael A. Karageorgis, Piraeus in 1971. The City Of Exeter and City of York were rebuilt to become the Mediterranean Sea and Mediterranean Sky respectively, and served as ferries between Patras - Brindisi and Ancona (with variations). The City of Port Elizabeth and City of Durban were to be rebuilt into luxury cruise ships, However, this never eventuated. Both remained laid up in Eleusus Bay, Greece.

The City Of Exeter was renamed Mediterranean Island, later Mediterranean Sun, and the City of Durban became the Mediterranean Dolphin. Both were never rebuilt and eventually broken up.

Photographs on ssmaritime and associate pages are by the author or from the author’s private collection. In addition there are some images that have been provided by Shipping Companies and private photographers or collectors. Credit is given to all contributors. However, there are some photographs provided to me without details regarding the photographer/owner concerned. I hereby invite if owners of these images would be so kind to make them-selves known to me (my email address may be found on www.ssmaritime.com only), in order that due credit may be given. I know what it is like, I have seen a multitude of my own photographs on other sites, yet these individuals either refuse to provide credit or remove them when asked, knowing full well that there is no legal comeback when it comes to the net. However, let us show these charlatans up and do the right thing at all times and give credit where credit is due!

This notice covers all pages, although, and I have done my best to ensure that all photographs are duly credited and that this notice is displaced on each page, that is, when a page is updated!
