Thank you all very much for you input.

The ship was indeed sold in 1929 to Christos Vlassis, a shipowner from Lavrio and she was registered there as a steam salvage tug.
In 1931 she was sold to D. Arapis, Salonica and employed as a passenger steamer for local traffic in Thermaicos Gulf.
In 1932 she was sold to K. Pourpountis & Z. Zachariadis and the following year she was registered in Salonica.
In 1940 she was requisitioned by the Greek Navy and employed as a patrol vessel in Salonica fitted with depth charges and gun(s).
In April 1941 she fled with personnel to Chalkis and apparently she survived the war as she was still listed in 1972. I hope that in the coming weeks I will find the rest of her postwar story.
