Description
The Tunis was built in Helsingør as yard no. 231 for DFDS. She was launched in November 1935 and delivered in January 1936. She was built for Mediterranean service, but when World War II broke out, she was moved to the Atlantic routes. Laid up in the USA when Denmark was occupied by Germany in 1940. Taken over by the U.S. Navy in 1941 as USS Aquila (AK-47). Served with the Navy until October 1945, when renamed Bonanza and operated by Alcoa Steam Ship Co. In June 1946 returned to DFDS and got her old name back. On 5 April 1966 Tunis was sold to Eletson Maritime Corp., Piraeus, Greece, delivered to the new owner on 13 April and renamed Maria T. In 1972 the ship was sold to Rigas Bros. & Dinos Mitropoulis, Piraeus and renamed Mathios. In 1978 the ship was scrapped in Greece by Kyriazis Brothers. http://www.jmarcussen.dk/maritim/skibsliste/side.php?id=7552 (in Danish).
