SS Sinaia was an ocean liner built in 1924 in Whiteinch, Glasgow by Barclay, Curle & Co. Ltd.for the Fabre Line. Its first visit to Providence, Rhode Island, was made on June 28, 1925.
The liner carried Kahlil Gibran's body from Providence, Rhode Island, to the French-controlled Lebanon in 1931. In 1939 Sinaia left the port of Sète with Spanish Republicans seeking asylum in Mexico.Schieder, Martin: ¿Que pasa a bordo? ¿Que pasa en el mundo?
