Londres was built in 1939. It was intended to name her Dieppe, but she was delivered as Londres. She was taken over by the occupying German forces in June 1940 and renamed Lothringen. After the war, she was handed back to SNCF and renamed Londres. She worked on Newhaven-Dieppe services until withdrawn in 1963. She was sold the following year, becoming the Ionion II of Typaldos Bros, Piraeus. Typaldos failed soon afterwards, and she was sold to the Aegean SN Co as Sofoclis Venizelos for service between Piraeus and Heraklion until 1966.
