Begona

SS Castel Bianco was officially sold to ?The Spanish Line? on March 17, 1957 who renamed her ?Begona? and she departed for Barcelona where she would receive refit of not only improving her public facilities, but also deleting all dormitories and construction new and superior cabins thus reducing her passenger capacity 830 accommodated in comfortable cabins. It would be a month later that The Spanish Line would also obtain the Castel Verde and convert her. In May 1957 the refit on the SS Begona had been completed and her inaugural voyages under the Spanish flag voyage would take her as far as Sydney Australia where she arrived on June 20, and she returned to Europe on July 19, 1957. After her Australian voyage she operated on the Canary Islands, Caribbean and Venezuela service based mostly in Southampton, with occasional voyages commencing and ending in Spain. Tragically, October 4, 1974 she suffered a massive engine failure and she drifted for a several days, until the German tug ?Oceanic? took her in tow to Bridgetown, Barbados. There she remained laid up there and it was considered that it was not worthwhile repairing her and thus she would be sold for scrap.
