To Swedish American Line.


The Kungsholm (21,141 grt, 600 ft. long), in service with the Swedish American Line 1953-1964
She then became the Europa of the North German Lloyd.
As the Columbus C. of the Costa Line she hit some rocks at Cadiz in 1984 and sank at her berth.
She was later raised and scrapped.
