About MS Winston Churchill

MS Winston Churchill was built in 1967 by Cantieri Navali del Tirreno e Riuniti S.P.A. Riva Trigoso, Genoa, Italy. The Winston Churchill was built as a car ferry for the Scandinavian Seaways DFDS service from Esbjerg to Harwich, and proved a very successful vessel on the route. As demand for vehicle-carrying services grew, larger vessels were required for the route and the Winston Churchill was transferred to the River Tyne in 1978, for the twice-weekly service to Gothenburg, following the arrival of the new DFDS vessel MS Dana Anglia on the Harwich route. The ferry ran aground on August 27, 1979 off the Swedish coast. All 587 passengers were safely taken off. She was eventually replaced on the Esbjerg route out of the Tyne by a new vessel, the MS King of Scandinavia.
