Navi riconosciute 2, NEPTUNIA


Recommended Posts

Con riferimento al post di Pellegrini che formulava un'ipotesi per il riconoscimento della nave rovesciata (nella foto qui sotto ripostata), invio qui la soluzione del quesito. 


La nave in oggetto divenne la prima nave da crociera italiana, NEPTUNIA la prima esclusivamente utilizzata per viaggi di piacere e non di linea.

La nave rovesciata è il piroscafo passeggeri brasiliano AVARE' ex tedesco SIERRA SALVADA rovesciatosi il 16 giugno 1922 ad Amburgo. La nave fu recuperata e divenne PEER GYNT, quindi nel 1925 divenne l'italiana NEPTUNIA e ritornò tedesca nel 1927 come OCEANA.
