According to NYT of February 3, 1923 timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1923/02/03/10495987... the Ionia arrived at Piraeus (port for Athens) from Trebizond (now Trabzon) on the Black Sea coast of Turkey, with 5,500 refugees. 22 had died on the passage from typhus and smallpox and 15 children had been born.

marmarinou
There was an exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey in 1923, so this appears to have been one of the ships involved.
