Ex Zaphiriou collection
In the spring of 1901, the steam yacht Argonaut embarked on a voyage to places of interest in Greek history. Onboard were 90 (male) schoolmasters, 70 ladies (many of whom were also engaged in education) and 40 others who were interested parties (doctors, barristers, businessmen, etc.), making up a total of 200 people. The expedition was deemed to be of sufficient interest to have a reporter for The Times assigned to go along and cover it.
This kind of voyages in Greece continued for many years.
