History

The SS Medina was built in 1914 as the by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company for the Mallory Steamship Company of the United States. She was a freighter serving the Atlantic; during the second world war she served with the US Coast Guard. In 1948, the Medina was acquired by the Panamanian company, Naviera San Miguel SA. She was subsequently renamed the Roma and converted into a passenger ship with cabins for 287 people and dormitories for another 694 people. In 1952, the Roma was sold to Linea Costa, an Italian company. At this time she was converted from a steamship to a motor vessel, renamed the MV Franca C, and carried passengers between Italy and Argentina. In 1959, the Franca C was converted into a cruise liner, principally cruising the Mediterranean. In 1977, the Franca C was acquired by its current owners and renamed the MV Doulos.
