Notes:

As will be seen when going to Page 1 above, Titania arrived Zamboanga (from Cebu) on Apr. 9-1940, the day Norway was invaded by the Germans, proceeding to Manila that same day, with arrival Apr. 12.

There's a handwritten note on Page 3 saying she ran aground off Point Noire in July-1942; I have no further details on this. Also from the same document, we learn that she spent quite a long time in New York later that year, from Sept. 5, when she had arrived New York from Takoradi, to Dec. 5, when she left again for Lagos, where she arrived Dec. 19.

POST WAR:

Sold on Nov. 28-1961 to Marvuelo Cia. Nav. S.A. (Michail A. Karageorgis S.A., subsequently Michail A. Karageorgis (Hellas) Ltd., managers), Greece and renamed Aristotelis. Delivered at Shanghai to Chinese shipbreakers on May 14-1969.
