Clive is right

Although obviously a passenger ship operating a coastal service, she is a ferry and should be in that category, I put it in the wrong category and never thought about it again until now.

So will be put in ferry category along with her sister Suecia.

I can't believe that we are having this discussion again. This ship, and her sister, operated on a regular ferry service between the UK and Sweden. They were ferries as indeed were many other similar such vessels that were built before the roll on-roll off concept was even dreamt of. Quite simply, how would one have described the vessels that steamed back and forth across the English Channel between Dover and Calais during the early 20th century and up to the advent of the roll on-roll off vessels?

This has the wonderfull lines of a old time coastal steamer, certainly doesn't fall in my ferry category! mrdot.

I would say passenger ship, as she wasn't a ro-ro. But I don't know if that's in line with the site's policies.

Apart from being today's gem amongst my old negs, should this be in passenger ships or ferries ?
