Description
The Tunis was built in Helsingør as yard no. 231 for DFDS. She was launched in November 1935 and delivered in January 1936. She was built for Mediterranean service, but when World War II broke out, she was moved to the Atlantic routes. Laid up in the USA when Denmark was occupied by Germany in 1940. Taken over by the U.S. Navy in 1941 as USS Aquila (AK-47). Served with the Navy until October 1945, when renamed Bonanza and operated by Alcoa Steam Ship Co. In June 1946 returned to DFDS and got her old name back. On 5 April 1966 Tunis was sold to Eletson Maritime Corp., Piraeus, Greece, delivered to the new owner on 13 April and renamed Maria T. In 1972 the ship was sold to Rigas Bros. & Dinos Mitropoulis, Piraeus and renamed Mathios. In 1978 the ship was scrapped in Greece by Kyriazis Brothers. http://www.jmarcussen.dk/maritim/skibsliste/side.php?id=7552 (in Danish).

Permission
(Reusing this file)
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1953, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
 Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
