MS European Gateway


MS European Gateway was a roll-on roll-off car and passenger ferry built in 1975, originally owned and operated by Townsend Thoresen. On 19 December 1982, she capsized following a collision with off Harwich, settling on a sandbank. The ship had 34 passengers and 36 crew at the time. Six people were killed in the capsizing. She was subsequently refloated and repaired, and served the Greek Islands as Penelope, until 2013 when she was scrapped at the Aliaga breakyards
