The 1925 Belfast-built Beograd berthed in London’s Royal Docks, with barges alongside, during the 1960s. The scene is witnessed byLtd). By 1939 Dubrovacka Plovidba AD (as it was then known) was operating 14 coastal and 11 deepsea ships, the latter being passed to the British Government for use by the Allies during World War II. From 1941 to 1946 she served as Radport, one of seven Yugoslav-owned ships initially managed by the London-based Radonicich Ltd, a company owned by Ilija Radonicic, and later by J. & C. Harrison. After the war, DPP’s eight surviving ships were transferred by the Communist Government to newly created Yugoslav national lines. Radport was allocated to Jugoslavenska Slobodna Plovidba and renamed Beograd. In 1950 she was transferred to Jugoslavenska Linijska Plovidba and in 1957 to Atlantska Plovidba. Beograd was broken up at Sveti Kajo, near Split, in March 1970. The photograph to the left, provided by Croatian maritime historian Marijan Zuvic, shows Beograd at the Brodospas shipbreaking facility near Split.
