The Demerara ferry between Georgetown and Vreed-en-Hoop was serviced by the motor vessel MAKOURIA from 1959 to 2005.

What is the name of the steamer that preceded the MAKOURIA?

I have lots of nice memories travelling on the MAKOURIA [in photo].

mv MAKOURIA

Torani before it went to Berbice.

On GY one dollar bill.

If this is correct, I am only 43.

Lest I be misunderstood, what is the name of the steamer that preceded MAKOURIA on the G/town-V/Hoop ferry?

In regard to comments you and Riya made, Torani serviced the Berbice ferry, Makouria serviced the Demerara ferry, and Malali serviced the Essequibo ferry.

The three vessels are sisters indeed.

Ferguson Shipbuilders built Makouria in Glasgow, Scotland.

Sprostons built Torani and Malali at its Ruimveldt dockyards, Georgetown, using the Makouria blueprint.
