- MV_Gullfoss abstract "MV Gullfoss was a ferry operating between Iceland, Denmark and Scotland from 1950 to 1972. She replaced another Gullfoss. They were named after the much-visited Gullfoss waterfall.In 1939 Eimskip planned to replace the 1915 Gullfoss, but World War 2 intervened.Some days after launching Gullfoss suffered a dust explosion, which killed 4 shipyard-workers and wounded 2.On 14 May 1950 Gullfoss' maiden voyage from Copenhagen carried 164 passengers, arriving in Reykjavik on Saturday 20 May to a ministerial welcome.During the 1950s and 60s Gullfoss ran fortnightly in summer, Copenhagen-Edinburgh/Leith-Reykjavik and 3 weekly via Hamburg in winter. In winter she also ran cruises. In 1950-51 Compagnie Générale Transatlantique chartered her from Bordeaux to Casablanca. In 1953 she was in the Mediterranean and in 1967 cruised from Iceland to the Azores, Madeira, Casablanca and Lisbon. Several cruises went to Amsterdam and London and around Iceland.In 1963 Gullfoss was damaged by fire whilst being maintained at her builder's yard and in 1966 she collided with MV Malmöhus near Copenhagen.In the early 1970s she sailed only in summer and was withdrawn in 1972 due to airline competition. She evacuated Heimaey in the Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands) in January 1973 when Eldfell volcano erupted.In November 1973 she was converted to carry 1100 pilgrims, and renamed "Mecca". In January 1974 she arrived in Jeddah and operated the 160 nmi (300 km) route between Jeddah (port for Mecca, 86 km (53 mi) away), Hodeidah (Yemen) and Port Sudan for Orri Navigation until she caught fire in the Red Sea on 19 December 1976, drifted onto a reef and sank next day.".
