- 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.
