Spirit of Tasmania

The iconic red-and-white ships we know today as Spirit of Tasmania I and II were constructed in Finland in 1998 and operated for four years between Greece and Italy. These two monohull vessels replaced the original MV Spirit of Tasmania, making their dual maiden voyages across Bass Strait on 1 September, 2002.

Beautiful ferries and a great shot. Funny naming the ships Spirit of Tasmania when neither the constructors nor the users have any connection with Tasmania.

@sangwann originally in service in Finland, the ships were refitted for service between Tasmania and Melbourne on the main-land.

@maggiemae indeed. Bass Strait can be very rough seas for the crossing.
