Please WhyMe, draw either the Finlandia (I &/or II) or the Silvia Regina of Silja Line, if you can. With the first one me and my family migrated to Sweden from Finland and later travelled back several times on to visit. Later, in the 1980s and early 1990s I travelled onboard either Finlandia (II) or Silvia Regina and have very fond memories of these ships, and believe them to be amongt the most handsome ferries in the world, possibly rivalled only by the Tor Britannia-class!

The BATORY, very nice! She was actually an ocean liner, sailing between Poland and New York (later Montreal). Before WW2, she had a sister (PILSUDSKI) which was sunk in WW2. Both ships were paid for in coal by the Poles. The BATORY was succeeded in the late 60s by the STEFAN BATORY (ex-MAASDAM of 1952 of the Holland America Line).
