ship 'Kairouan' poster-calendar, 1950


The date etc. were changed by a movable roller, adjusted by knobs on the sides. This ship was completed in 1950 by Chantiers et Ateliers de la Mediterranee, La Seyne for the Cie de Navigation Mixte, for sailings from Marseille to Algeria and Tunisia (Algérie et Tunisie).

After Algerian independence, patronage there diminished and the company attempted to appeal to the Mediteranean cruise market, but that also diminished and the ship was withdrawn in 1973.


Capacity: 8,589 gross tons, 142.3 metre (467 foot) length x 18.3 metre (60 foot) beam, speed circa 24 knots.
