Please Note: In 1960 SS Queen Frederica was given an extensive refit in Piraeus Greece, and all images on this page are pages from a 1961 brochure the author has in his collection. Late in 1960, the Queen Frederica received her refit, which saw her lower glazed-in Promenade Deck completely plated in by steel, which added a good number of additional new cabins.
Finally, fifty years after being delivered to Matson Line, the superb SS Malolo (aka SS Matsonia, SS Atlantic and RHMS Queen Frederica), was sold to Greek breakers in July 1977, and because she had been shut down some years earlier and classified as a “dead ship” she had to be towed to the Eleusis breaker yards.
Unfortunately, Eugenides passed away suddenly in April 1954; however, his heirs, respecting his will, raised the Greek flag on the liner QUEEN FREDERICA, which started its transatlantic voyages a few months later, acting as a bridge connecting Greek immigrants to their homeland.
