About MS Arion
The MS Arion was a passenger car ferry, which was part of the NEL Lines fleet. She was built in 1965 in Glasgow, United Kingdom and was put into operation by NEL in 1975 (She also operated in the past, under different names and owners). She took her name from Arion, a lyric poet from Mithymna (Molyvos) of Lesvos. The ship initially operated in Israel as the Nili and later as the Helsinki Express on the Baltic Sea. Later, as the Jamaica Queen, she sailed in the Caribbean as a cruise ship. She came to Greece in 1975 and received her final name. The ship was destroyed in 1981 by a bomb blast in Haifa, Israel. She was towed out of port and burned completely. Finally, she was sold for scrap in 1984.
