Nile’s forgotten steamers

In this article, I try to highlight the forgotten steamers of the Nile. Several old articles or Thomas Cook and Son’s advertises spotlights on steamers, not any more existing or barely can be recognized from there wreckage.

In the early days of the Nile steamers names such as Ramses, Ramses the great, Nicotris, Tawfik, Prince Abbas and Prince Mohammed Ali was the main pillars of Thomas Cook and Son’s main concept and the jewels of the first class tourism in the 19th and 20th century.
