History:

Built in 1931, Korsholm III was the first passenger & car ferry to offer service between Vasa, Finland and Ume, Sweden. She was in regular usage in the 50s and 60s before being sold to the Finnish Navy as their flag ship. Today she is still afloat in Sweden as a tourist boat, totally refitted, under the name S/S Stockholm.
