The Lemos family was a prominent Greek ship owning family which has been involved in shipping since the 18th century. From 1860 to 1914 the family owned 52 vessels. ==Historical highlights== *In 1905, Capt. Christos M. Lemos was co-owner and first Master of the ''Marietta Ralli'', which Greek shipping lore has commemorated as the first steamship owned by seafarers from Oinousses, one of the country's foremost maritime islands. *In recognition of their contribution to the war effort, the family was a recipient of one of the famous 100 ''Liberty Vessels'' 〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 which restored the fortunes of the Greek merchant fleet in the aftermath of the Second World War. *Another touchstone of family pride is Capt. Leon C. Lemos, founder of Efploia Shipping, one of the most renowned Greek shipowners in the 1970s and 1980s. *After selling off 15 of his 17 vessels in 1980 just prior to the crash, Capt. Lemos re-entered the market in 1985 while conditions were still at a low ebb, ordering a series of 10 bulkers from Hyundai Heavy Industries. *Even though most of the Lemos family still live in Greece, a substantial amount now reside in multi-million pound houses in London's Mayfair and St. John's Wood Districts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lemos family」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
