About Bastø II

MF Bastø II was a bidrectional roll-on/roll-off passenger and road vehicle ferry built in 1934 by Moss Værft & Dokk. She was delivered to Alpha, who put her into service on the Moss–Horten crossing of the Oslofjord in Norway. She was requisisioned during 1944 and 1945 by the Kriegsmarine, before being returned to her owner. She was renamed MF Alpha in 1961 and sold to the Finnish shipping company Rederi Ab Eckerö. They put her in service with Eckerö Linjen, which connected Åland to Sweden. She capsized on 4 November 1961, and was subsequently salvaged, renovated and put back into service as MF Alandia. She remained in service until 1974 and had been broken by 1983.
