[edit] SS Stockholm
The first Stockholm was launched at Blohm + Voss shipyard in Hamburg, Germany in 1899. First named SS Potsdam, the name was changed to SS Stockholm when it was sold to the Swedish America Line (SAL) in 1915. The ship was in the North Atlantic traffic for SAL until 1929, when the ship was sold to Norway and renamed Solglimt.
[edit] MS Stockholm (I)
The second ship to bear the name was launched in 1938, but was destroyed by fire while under construction.
[edit] MS Stockholm (II)
The third Stockholm was launched at Cantieri Riuniti dell' Adriatico shipyard in Italy in 1940. It was markedly similar to the second Stockholm. It was sold to the Italian government at the outbreak of World War II. She was renamed Sabaudia and converted to a troopship and was sunk by British aircraft in 1944.
