By Ro-Ro to the Baltic (2nd Edition) Barry Mitchell

The 1970s heralded the universal arrival of the dedicated roll-on roll-off freight ferry, or the ro-ro as it became more economically known. During the early years of the ro-ro several owners continued to carry a limited number of passengers in the same style and comfort as expected aboard their former conventional Ôshort-seaÕ freighters. ÔBy Ro-Ro to the BalticÕ takes the reader aboard a bygone class-leading vessel for a Ôfly on the wallÕ look at its operation on an intriguing near three-thousand mile voyage of several decades past.
