Fallrepet

Leif and Torsten, thanks for the quick answers. The photo was token in 1964 in Visby and was made by Bo Friberg.

What is the name of this coaster, lying end fifties(?) in a Swedish port:

Unhappily a forgot his name, but I got a mail from Sweden with this text: Probably M/S GRIPEN, home port Karlstad, Ahlmark Lines. Built in Falkenberg 1964. It seems to be in “Bötö leden” outside Gothenburg, west bound.

Jevemo, the Solklint and the Lissa are the same vessel. The Sappemeer was built in 1961 by shipyard Niestern, Delfzijl, yardnr. 257 for Dutch account and in 4-1965 sold to Sören Nilsson, Skärhamn. Grounded 7-11-1969 six miles north east of Huvudskar. The ship subsequently broke in two and sank. Here...

This photo is token in 1969, what is the name of her?

Thanks Torsten for your photo. It looks she was rebuilt for roll-on/roll-off traffic. I noted that after her sale to Sweden she was renamed Ölandsund and after lengthening her name was too lengthened with two ss. So I must concluded she never trader with one s.

Not a good quality, but the Eksund as she was built as Jaba.

How can help me with the history of the Scanvik? She looks like an old dutch coaster.

Are there no photo's during her Swedish time?

The Swedish tanker Thell was built in 1941 by De Groot & v. Vliet, Slikkerveer, Holland. Her first name was Jungfernsand, Germany, 1945 Swedish Hegg, 1972 Thell and in 1972 Finnish Miki. I traced her until 1994 and then?

In Equasis is listed mv. Gule, imonr.5138230, 1940 built as Swedish Sigbritt by shipyard Muller & Broerken. But is she still trading?

The shipyard O. Smith, Stadskanaal, Holland built in 1920 the Dutch schooner Avontuur, 1923 renamed Catharina and in 1932 Spes. In 1937 she stranded on the Swedish coast (place?), refloated and sold to Swedish owners. In 1977 she was sold to Panama as Avontuur. Last year she was sold and will be reb...
