"The ship"

- CONTENT -
“Nava” was the second passenger ship acquired by the Israeli shipping company Cheers, and its main mission was to bring hundreds of immigrants and refugees to the country’s first years.

Nagova was built in 1915 by the Royal Schelde shipping vessel in the Netherlands. The ship has undergone different upheavals in her life. At first it was renamed Equador and owned by Pacific Mile Steamship Co. After a year, when it broke the leg, the ship was sold to the "Grace Line" (W. R. Grace & Co.) and was renamed Santa Olivia. She later served as a supply shipbuilder in Alaska for a company in the conservation industry in the California sector under the name David Wu. David W. Branch. Towards the end of World War II, she served in the U.S. Army and married the name Luxor.

At the end of 1948, in the midst of the battles in the Negev, the ship was acquired by the Cheers Company, and therefore received the name "Nava". “Nangva” sailed from the Netherlands under the command of the captain Robert Stevenson Miller. On board the ship about 500 Holocaust survivors from Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Germany.

In June 1951, a strike broke out in the ship, while she spent two weeks looking at Marseilles for repairs, due to the ship's May requirement that she did not respond to the addition of 600 to the U.S. in foreign currency to fund spending on their stay in Marseilles. This strike has become the defining event of the famous, large and attractive marine strike.

For eight years, until her sale to Greta in late 1956, the ship sailed a line between Haifa and ports in Italy, Cyprus and Marseille, engaged in bringing immigrants from Europe, North Africa and Egypt.
