T.S.S Nea Hellas was the ship of dreams.

She was not a glamorous beauty like the four stacker contemporaries of her day, but for the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who she carried to the America,

with little more than their optimism for life in a new land, she was the bridge to the future.

These immigrants spent 15 days traveling from Piraeus to New York with stops in Naples, Genoa, Malta, Lisbon, and Halifax.

That's an eternity by today's standards, and their voyages left them all with indelible memories.

Their American descendants also have memories of the stories they heard about the ship from their moms and dads, and their papous and yiayias who made the crossing.

This site is dedicated to their memories.

The Nea Hellas became a part of their family's genealogical history.

It is my hope that this site will also reach the dwindling members of the generation who still remember their voyage on this ship fondly.
