In August 1997 –high season– I travelled on several of the Moby Line ferries, from mainland Italy to Sardinia, Corsica and Elba.
Several of the ships have left us years ago.
SARDEGNA BELLA (built 1967 as STENA BRITANNICA)
This elegant passenger ferry will certainly look familiar to many of our industry professionals. Built as STENA BRITANNICA, she has been sailing on the Kattegat, in Alaska, the Baltic Sea, the English Channel, and last but not least in the Mediterranean Sea.
She sailed for companies as Sally AB and Sally Line, Viking Line, Brittany Ferries, North Sea Ferries, SOL Lines, Moby Lines etc..
She was broken up in 2001.
MOBY BLU (built 1965 as FREE ENTERPRISE II)
Another veteran is Townsend’s FREE ENTERPRISE II, built in The Netherlands.
After a long life on different Channel routes, the small ferry (by today’s standards) was sold in 1982 to Navarma and subsequently left for the Med.
In 2003 she was scrapped in India.
