Vessel "TRANSILVANIA". Postage stamp of Romania, issued in 1974


Vessel TRANSILVANIA

Postage stamp issued by Romanian post on 28.01.1974.

The Transilvania was built in the shipyards Burmeister & Wain in Copenhagen in 1938 and was baptized in the port of Constanța on 8 September of the same year. Until the beginning of the II World War, it made regular trips as a cruise ship on the line Constanța - Alexandría - Haifa - Beirut - Piraeus - Istanbul - Constanța, with a capacity of 396 passengers (tourists, mostly foreigners) and a crew of 156 persons. During the war he took refuge in the port of Istanbul, because Turkey was a neutral country, which saved him from being used by Germany to transport troops and weapons, and only in 1944 he returned to Constanța, and for a while he dedicated himself to transports of prisoners from Russia and emigrants to Israel. Then it was sent to the fluvial port of Galaţi, where it sank on 9 September 1979. The remains were not recovered until 2008. The technical data of Transilvania were as follows: 132.44 meters in length, 17.44 meters in maximum width, 5.75 meters of draft and 6,672.31 tons of gross tonnage.
