A true little golden nugget, this old faithful STEFAN BATÓRY.

P.S: Are you sure her deadweight was the large number of 7 100 tonnes? Sounds much for such small ship. To compare with the Contemporary and larger liners as ALEKSANDR PUSHKIN on the Europe to Montréal line, she had a deadweight origially 5 999t, later rebuilt with 5 180 tonnes, and her New York fleet mate MIHAIL LERMONTOV a deadweught of 4 956 t.

Yes, I am certain!

The following extracted from the IHSF register (Dead Ships) today, confirms.
