Baltic boats.
Hiya David, I sailed on three Baltic boats in the 70's. Baltic Express, Baltic Sprite and Baltic Viking. A good run but not very nice in the winter on deck.

Hi, Dave, I sailed as AB on the Baltic Progress in Apr. = May, 1977. And the Baltic Viking June to Oct. '77, which was a great trip as we went to Spain, then South and Central America. I think we were up the Orinoco river when Elvis Pressley died. Paid off in Ipswich. Regards, Tony Geeves.
