Hi All As a supplement to the book, Embers on the Sea, by Paul Boyatzis and Nicholas Pappas (our Forum Administrator) which was released in 1995 there is now a website about the sinking of this ship. Go to www.empirepatrol.com to view the latest stories and photos. Please do sign the guestbook and read the various accounts from survivors of this disaster. The loss of 32 Castellorizians and loss of all the possessions of the 497 refugees aboard whilst enroute from Port Said to Castellorizo effected so many families. It was the final straw in a series of disasters which then caused most to leave the island forever. Allan Webmaster Empire Patrol Website

Thanks, Allan - this new website is highly recommended for those wishing to learn more about this disaster and its lasting effects on the island and its diaspora. As a foretaste, here is an image of the ill-fated Empire Patrol when it was launched in Trieste as the MS Rodi in 1928. Nicholas Attachments:
