MS Estonia was a cruise ferry built in 1979/80 at the German shipyard Meyer Werft in Papenburg. The ship sank in 1994 in the Baltic Sea in one of the worst maritime disasters of the 20th century. It is the second-deadliest peacetime sinking of a European ship, after the RMS Titanic, and the deadliest peacetime shipwreck to have occurred in European waters, with 852 lives lost.

Your talent for shipbuilding is incredible.
Such a tragedy though :(
May the 852 lives lost on her "Rest in Peace".
(PS, my grandfather who was an Estonian travelled onboard her many times before she sank, He was not onboard the ship when she sank).
