S/S "ARIADNE", Finland. Postcard

S/S ARIDNE

Postcard published by Postimuseo, Tampere, Nº 79 (1997). Reprint of a old postcard.

The S/S Ariadne was a passenger steamship owned by Suomen Vöyrylaiva Osakeyhtiö, which operated from 1914 to 1968. She was designed by shipbuilding engineer Hugo Lindfors and built at the Lindholmens Verkstads Ab shipyard in Gothenburg, Sweden. She had 128 class I, 58 class II and 54 class III cabin seats, and in addition there were 260 seats on deck, so a total of five hundred passengers could be embarked. The Ariadne began operating on the Helsinki - Tallinn - Stettin line on May 2, 1914. On August 4 of the same year, after the start of World War I, the Russian government seized the ship and moored it as a hospital ship in the port of Helsinki, where it remained until 1918, when the Russians left Finland. Starting in the spring of 1919, the Ariadne operated the Helsinki - Hanko - Stockholm route in the summer season and the Helsinki - Copenhagen - Hull route in the winter season before the ice arrived. In 1921 she resumed the Helsinki - Tallinn - Stettin line. She had the official status of a postal ship. After the outbreak of the Winter War, the Ariadne was stationed first at Uusikaupunki and later at the Swedish cities of Holmsund and Stockholm. In 1942-1943 the ship was leased to the German Navy and as a hospital ship she transported wounded soldiers to Germany. At the end of the Continuation War, in September 1944 she again became a hospital ship for Finnish soldiers. From June 1949 to 1967 the ship operated the Helsinki-Copenhagen route, and then the Helsinki-Tallinn and Turku-Stockholm routes. She was taken out of service in September 1968 and in July 1969 she was sold for scrapping.

[The "Stefan Batory" was an ocean liner built in Holland in 1952 under the name of SS "Maasdam", initially used to service the Dutch East Indies by the Holland America Line. She was bought from Holland in 1968 and began service as a Polish ocean liner in April 1969 as a replacement for the obsolete MS "Batory", both named after a king of Poland Stefan Batory (1533-1586). After she was refitted and renamed she became the flagship of the Polish Ocean Lines in the 1970s and 1980s and mainly sailed from Gdynia-Copenhagen-Rotterdam-London-Montreal-Southampton-Rotterdam-Copenhagen-Gdynia. She remained in service until 1988 and was the last regularly scheduled transatlantic liner. She was scrapped in Aliağa, Turkey in May 2000.]

OLDHAM CORPORATION (England). Roe bodied Leyland PDi bus of 1947. Illustration: G. S. Cooper. Postcard by M.A. Arts, MB64/100.
[The first tram line of the Oldham Corporation Transport was open on the 15th December 1900. At this time, Oldham was still being served by the horse trams of the Manchester Carriage and Tramways Company. Motorbuses had made an appearance in Oldham during May 1913. A further service was introduced on the 31st August 1914 to Denshaw from the new tram terminus at Grains Bar. However, the cost of operating the buses was becoming too expensive and the services were withdrawn in 1919. The 1968 Road Transport Act provided for the creation of the South East Lancashire and North East Cheshire (SELNEC) Passenger Transport Executive, of which Oldham became a part on the 1st November 1969, officially ceasing to exist as a separate municipal undertaking at midnight on the 31st October.]

PLEASANT POINT RAILWAY & HISTORICAL SOCIETY, South Canterbury (New Zealand)

PLEASANT POINT RAILWAY & HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Pleasant Point (South Canterbury, New Zealand)
http://pleasantpointrail.org.nz/

[The Pleasant Point Museum and Railway is a narrow gauge heritage railway located in the small country town of Pleasant Point in southern Canterbury, New Zealand, inland from Timaru. Its main terminal is located at Pleasant Point station, which was an important stop on the Fairlie Branch. For just over a year from 24 December 1875, Pleasant Point was actually the terminus of the line as construction further inland proceeded, and upon completion of the line, it functioned as a typical country station until closure of the Fairlie Branch came on 2 March 1968. After the line closed, a historical society was formed with the aim of preserving Pleasant Point station, as the original building from 1875 still stood, with the addition of a 1930s booking office. The society ultimately managed to preserve the station, yard, and roughly 2.5 km of track.]
