That should be Klazomenai (Clazomenae). It used to be an island just off the coast until Alexander the Great connected it to the mainland with a causeway. It was the birthplace of the pre-Socratic philosopher Anaxagoras.

Every ship I have ever sailed on has been scrapped.
There was one sister ship that broke up & sank off the East Coast. Boy did I ever pay for that at the next CG inspection.
