- This page
is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Viking Lines ferry Viking Sally. She was built for Rederi AB Sally, part
of the Viking
Line
consortium, in 1980 by Meyer of Papenburg. Sally were the dominant
partner in the Viking
Line
consortium at this time, with three large ferries delivered in
the same year. However, the company was soon in financial difficulties,
having branched out into other unprofitable areas, and was taken
over by Silja
Line
partners Effjohn in 1987. Sally was forced out of the Viking
Line
consortium, although Viking Sally remained in Viking Line service on charter until 1990. She then
became the Silja
Star,
operating from Turku, until transferred to Wasa Line (ex-Vaasanlaivat) as
Wasa
King.
She was sold to Estline as the Estonia in 1992. Estonia was lost in heavy seas
in the early hours of 28th September 1994, whilst on passage
from Tallinn to Stockholm.
