Wooden Ships Comments
Built in Norway in 1939, she has been working as a passenger charter vessel in the Baltic for many years. She currently has an up to date commercial ticket under Estonian flag for 60 day passengers or 12 overnight passengers with a full complement of lifesaving and fire fighting equipment as per the regulations.
The present owners have invested a large sum of money into the vessel since their purchase in 2010 including a new engine and generator plus updated navigation and safety equipment. The vessel is ready to undertake charter work and carry on as she has been for many years. She also has the potential to carry cargo as she has the original cargo hatch and a spacious hold.
