[2] In May 1945, she was seized by the Allies at Hamburg, passed to the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT) and renamed Empire Connemara.

It was a Soviet Union reference to the future Queen Elizabeth II and it was also a code nickname for Russian Intelligence services.

The Soviet team of transfer took out the ship under new name Лиза Чайкина and finally destination port in the USSR should have been Odessa, Black Sea.

In September 1946, Лиза Чайкина sailed from Odessa in September and visited following ports during the voyage: One interesting story Christened regarding the steamer Лиза Чайкина was written by Sergei Vorobyov in Russian language as per story of "granddad",[8] ex-crewmember of this ship.

When I joined the ship I was young alumnus of the Nautical College and was signed off on the staff assistant stoker.

Assistant task: to haul the coal to the furnace... Once my shiftworker, such a healthy "ambal"[10] from Kohtla-Järve, told me (as he was Estonian, he uttered the letters D, G, B, V, Ch as T, K, P, F, T respectively and sometimes lost R): — Pefore we entrust the "Montay" to you, you hafe to pe tristenet, frient.

Ant it will pe, as in the sonk: "For a moment he saw a plintink likht, fell - the heat (heart) is not peatink any more."

As per jargon amongst the stokers, the "Monday" was a hefty scrap and not less than one pound of weight, which broke up slag in the furnace before cleaning the boiler.

And, in hand of the second engineer I observed a big white enamel mug, which was filled with not the water, not the alcohol to the brim.

So, he shouts to me: — Shura,[13] we are now intend to christen you as per maritime tradition and then you will our spirit man, and no any contagion or trouble will not overtake you easy.

For this reason we need to make two sacraments, or possible to say — to perform only two conditions: to kiss a crank bearing of the main engine and then drink a cup of seawater.

It is required the highest category skill as a funnel for the pouring was on the rod, which is hopping a dance of death.

And a oilcaner, so a motorman was called in that years, was involved unwittingly into the rhythm of this pagan dance, it was independs if he like it or not.

One wrong move, - the oilcan could be striked by the connecting rod and the entire portion of the lubricant will be on your head.

And the fact, that I was christened second time - apparently, this is not in vain, because during my second voyage such situation happened that only a miracle was able to save me.The same story Christened informs about the loss of the screw during the second voyage of the author on the steamer Лиза Чайкина at sea: We passed with cargo copra from Bangkok to Yokohama.

Screw became increasingly denude often on the sea swell and then our compound engine begins to choke on the critical revolutions due to lost the load.

The connecting rods had not run to the rhythm of tango more, and fought off the deadly tap dance... Later understood that we had lost a screw during the second voyage.

Population growth in these areas require more intensive delivery of goods supply and expansion of local transportation.

In connection with the situation in the spring of 1949, management has made the decision on creation of the Kamchatka-Chukotka Shipping Company.

[2] The Kamchatka-Chukchi State Sea Shipping Company put the steamer Лиза Чайкина into operations on 1 June 1949.

According to the schedule, following ships had to sail with 17,600 tons of food, manufactured goods and salt from Petropavlovsk to the Western and Eastern Kamchatka: "Alexander Pushkin", "Sheksna", "Liza Chaikin", "Bukhara" and "Yakutsk".

When the northern areas received supply, the ship went to Ossorsk and Ukinsk combines, where they met a heavy solid ice.

The head of the Shipping Company issued order number 81 "About the organization of the cargo lines..." in which was mentioned that the steamers Komsomolets, Lisa Chaikina and motor-ships Lyubov Shevtsova, Korsakov, Nevelsk had to be used on the line Petropavlovsk - West and East Kamchatka to organize the delivery of the industrial and food goods and the coming-out of fishing production.

By early October a new radio station SRKS-008 (Russian: СРКС-008) was installed on the steamer, but it is also required to be changed due to insufficient output for long-distance communication.

[2] In 1951, during the cargo check on the steamship "Lisa Chaikin" were missing six boxes of alcohol (spirit), 78 bottles and one metric center of confectionery.

Viktor Ponamoryev and Yevgeny Goncharevsky wrote the book "Notes of the recidivist",[25] where was described the situation on the steamship Лиза Чайкина in 1953: The Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin died on 5 March 1953.

The radio broadcast the call sign in the evening: "My native land is broad",[26] and Levitan started to say, "Transmit the Decree of Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union about amnesty up to five years ..." Zeks[27] silent from the beginning, digested the information, it was not reached immediately the stupefied brains.

After the zek's trains, the demobilized military passed as per downsizing of the armed forces...[25]The steamship Лиза Чайкина was not mentioned for the voyages of the Kamchatka-Chukchi State Sea Shipping Company in 1953 year.

The steamship Лиза Чайкина is not mentioned in the list of the ships which was under control of "Dalstroy" and which was hired sometimes for the above-mentioned transportation.

[14][15] To improve the service of the developing economy in the Sakhalin and Kamchatka regions, the Sakhalin and Kamchatka-Chukchi Shipping Companies were separated from the Far Eastern Shipping Company and were subordinated directly to the Ministry of Marine Fleet as per MMF order dated 14 December 1957.
