EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Baltara, a former hospital ship of the United Baltic Corporation Ltd, sailing serenely on the open sea in 1927. The Baltara began its life as a cargo liner, first named Suntemple, and later renamed Berbice before joining the United Baltic Corporation's fleet to serve as a floating medical facility. The image portrays the ship in its post-hospital days, having been purchased by the corporation for an undisclosed purpose. The Baltara's history is steeped in intrigue and transformation. Built in 1909, the ship underwent several name changes and roles before its stint as a hospital ship. During its tenure as a medical vessel, it provided invaluable service to those in need, offering solace and care amidst the vast expanse of the ocean. In 1929, the Baltara's luck ran out, and the ship met its unfortunate end. Despite its tragic demise, the memory of the Baltara lives on, a testament to the resilience and adaptability of maritime vessels. This photograph offers a glimpse into the ship's past, a time when it played a vital role in the lives of those it served as a hospital ship. The Baltara's journey serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and diverse uses of ocean-going vessels. This image, taken in 1927, captures the ship in a moment of tranquility, its past and future a mystery, yet its significance undeniable.
