SARDEGNA - IMO 5314080

Circa 1964, at an unknown port - possibly La Goulette (Tunis).

One of five ships built for "Tirrenia" SpA di Nav., of Naples, Italy.
1) CALABRIA
2) CAMPANIA FELIX
3) LAZIO
4) SARDEGNA &
5) SICILIA.

I believe this image is displayed the correct way around, the only clue is a slight hint of red on the outboard bridge wing navigation lamp, which indicates it is therefore starboard side to the quay.

As for the port, the photographer took photos at both Genoa and Naples.

The SARDEGNA's scheduled routes included Naples but not Genoa.

Ship's details:
Keel laid on 22/07/1950, launched on 10/02/1952, and completed 0n 01/11/1952, and delivered to 'Tirrenia' on 03/11/1952, by Navalmeccanica, Castellammare di Stabia, Italy (598)
5,208 g.t. & 1,379 dwt., as:
'Sardegna', until sold to Italy for demolition.
Vessel was broken up at Ortona during February 1984.
