S.S. Conte Di Savoia

The S.S. Conte Di Savoia was built by Cantieri Riuniti dell'Adriatico in 1931, originally launched October 28th, 1931 for Lloyd Sabaudo in Italy. In 1932, she was transferred to the Italia Line. She was one of the first ships to be fitted with gyro-stabilizers which, it was claimed, maximized her rolling to three degrees. Her maiden voyage was November 30 1932 sailing from Genoa to Villefranche to New York. In May of 1940, she sailed her last crossing across the Atlantic from New York. She was laid up in Venice, Italy until 1943 when she was constructed into a troopship. On September 11, 1943, she was sunk by British bombers in Venice, Italy. The S.S. Conte Di Savoia was refloated in October of 1945 and sold for scarp in 1950.
