The Patris II was a passenger cargo ship completed in 1926, as part of the Byron Steam Shipping Co Ltd's fleet. From 1928 to 1935, the ship was part of the National Steam Navigation Co. of Greece, before becoming part of the Svenska Lloyd, and renamed the Patricia. The 4th meeting of the International Congresses of Modern Architecture, in 1933, was actually held aboard the ship, a change of plans from the original meeting location in Moscow.
