Amazing! By the way, as far as I know, the LEDA was not employed on the Hurtigruten. She sailed between Bergen and Newcastle. But, I could be wrong of course. Maybe she did some seasonal duties on the Hurtigruten, I'm not sure.
you're right, she did just Bergen Newcastle, and sometimes to other trips abroad.
did you know that:
she could do 24 knots
She was equipped with a stabilizer.
She could in 2-3 hours be refurbished as a troop transport.
