Collection Name	Interior and exterior views of the Alaska ferry, Wickersham, 1968-1974. ASL-PCA-84
Identifier	ASL-P84
Title	Interior and exterior views of the Alaska ferry, Wickersham, 1968-1974.
Description	The Alaska ferry, Wickersham, was purchased by the State of Alaska from the Swedish Stena Line for $6,960,000.00 in April, 1968, having only been built and in service for 6 months. Originally named M.V. Stena Brittanica, the ferry left Gothenberg, Sweden on May 7, 1968, and upon arriving in Vancouver, B.C., the name was changed to Wickersham after Judge James Wickersham, a pioneer miner and Alaskan judge. The Wickersham operated an express schedule between Prince Rupert and Haines, with "passenger only" stops at Ketchikan and Juneau. The Wickersham was reportedly sold October 15, 1974 to S.O.L. Lines of Rotterdam, a Dutch firm, however, payments were not received. It was sold again on April 19, 1975 to Spyros Maylivenos, a Greek firm in Italy, for $7,300,000. This deal also fell through, this time because of Italian import restrictions. On June 22, 1975, the ferry was sold to the Viking Line of Mariehamn, Aland Islands, Finland, and renamed Viking 6.
