Summary

Description
English: Duke Of York

Entered Service 31 May 1948. Withdrawn 19 July 1963.

4325 tonnes Twin Screw Steamer.

built by Harland and Wolff in 1935, as a two-funnelled steamer for the LMS Railway's Heysham-Belfast service. After service in WW2, Duke of York was rebuilt with a single funnel. She was transferred to the Harwich-Hook of Holland route, after passing from the LMS to British Railways. In May 1953, Duke of York had a serious collision, in fog, with the American freighter Haiti Victory. The bow section was sheered off completely. She reappeared with a new, more modern bow. . .

She was sold to Chandris Lines, and entered service in 1964 as the Fantasia. She ran mainly on cruises in the Eastern Mediterranean, with some winter charters to religious tour groups. She was withdrawn in the mid-seventies and scrapped in Spain. .
