Hi Shipmates,
Having read Istvan's email about a Swedish ferry company called
Anedinlinjen I felt I had to give you all some information.
Anedinlinjen is a ferry company which sails to Aland a small island
in the Gulf of Bothnia (the sea between Sweden and Finland). Actually
Peter Gilmore was the guest of honour when the company was
launched.250 people were invited and the company thought it would be
good publicity if they named the ferryline anedinlinjen (it's
pronounced the same as in English)
I have an old Swedish article about it in my files. According to my
article it took place in 1974, at a time when he was enormously
popular here in Sweden.
Regards
Maritha from Sweden
