Vassilios T was built in the Japanese Nitta shipyard in Osaka, Japan and it was ordered by the American company High Seas Transportation Inc. from New York. It sailed for that company under the name of the Eastern Temple. In 1938 the company sold it to Eleftherios M.Tricoglu a Greek ship owner from the island of Andros. However in the new owner’s fleet it did not sail for long. It perished on the night of 19th March 1939 on the way from Swansea to Venice, transporting a cargo of coal. It was probably due to a navigational error and negligence, that it ran aground on the outer part of the Cape of Stupišće on the island of Vis (Croatia) and after some time it sank, lying on its left side. It is now a dive spot.
