Car/passenger ferry 'MV Koningin Juliana', 6,682 grt, built 1968 for SMZ. In 1984 it was sold to Navarma Lines of Italy, renamed 'MV Moby Prince' and in 1991 whilst leaving the port of Livorno struck a moored oil tanker, caught fire and later sunk. Despite Livorno's Rescue Station being only minutes away, delays in the rescue resulted in all 140 crew and passengers died apart from one Ship's Boy! It was the worst Italian maritime disaster since WWII. Photo shows the ship at Harwich which I was just about to board for the Hook of Holland, June 1972. Scanned print taken with a Kowa SET.
