Unfortunately not. These are all I have.

@@joonasvahamaki5210 Can I use an excerpt of it for a book? I'm writing a book on the Estonia.

There's a followup clip of this where it shoes they're on deck 1 (cabins starting with 1). Take a look at the deck plans and you'll see there's many single stairways around the ship. Find one near a WC area (the sign) with a seating area/open space nearby (the sofas with the duck graffiti). If you find the spot tell me about it, please

Doesn't matter which deck plan you look on the Estonia didn't have much chance since her Viking Sally days (at least I believe so)

Found the place: Deck 4 aft you'll see on the Viking Sally plans a L shaped couch and stairs leading to the Car Deck 👍

Thank you. Although I'm not sure what you mean by goose neck.

God bless your father man, GED bless you. Lucky to be off the ship on that fateful 1994 day

@@FliVids that's true.

M/S Pearl Seaways is old Viking Line's: M/S Athena 😊

It's me.

I was on Viking Sally in the summer of 1989.

Yeah

Everything wrong in one sentence :) I definitely know the boat I was on, the name is also visible in the beginning of the video. Also there is no Mariella in this video and it isn't Estonia's sister ship, Estonia didn't have a sister ship. Olympia (Princess Anastasia) is Mariella's sister ship.

Estonia di

Estonia didnt have a sister ship, it was unique.

I have difficulties to locate a deck plan with high enough resolution so I could be certain, but I believe it's the cafe in the aft, on deck 5. As the ones I found are in such low resolution, I can't see if the children's playroom is located by the cafe or not.

@@joonasvahamaki5210 Perhaps it's this area I've marked with a red square: i.ibb.co/61hkTrM/555555555555.jpg The swedish description says the childrens play room is loctated near the information desk. I guess it's the triangle-esque room. Then we are midships starboard side. Thank you for your videos, I've seen them all many times. I wish there was a tour of the whole ferry to watch somewhere!

@@kdx997 Ok. I had a different deck plan to watch that would have suited more to this video. See the wall just next to the cafeteria desk and a boat like shape inside it. onse.fi/estonia/kuvat/suuren/kuva3_12s.gif

@@kdx997 definately isn't from where the playroom was located on your picture.

@@joonasvahamaki5210 Yes you are absolutely right! Your deck plan makes more sense. Thanks!

Well that's a memory :)

@@joonasvahamaki5210 I told a person in one of the cheaper hutts on the lowest position on the boat that if you beat your girlfriend one more time i will not be nice! he slapped her one more time and I stopped him then 2 friends to him came and started to hit and kick me i trow some god punches but had no god luck untill 2 Finnish citizens came and helped me they were angry and made some bad chaos of those individuals i didn't understand anything of what they said during and afterwards but we shared some drinks. I had one shoeprint in my face when i came home Reebok. 😂 😂 😂

@@Buttmaster666 wow. Well you did the right thing.

Komentosillan perusteella ehkä m/s Mariella tai m/s Olympia mut en tiedä millä reitillä olympia oli tohon aikaan vai oliko se jo myyty.

So old material that can't be 100% certain but Amorella or Isabella.

@@samuelnasley ok

Näyttää ennemän mariellan ja olympian brydgalta tarkotan laivasta josta kuvatu

M/S Mariella

That is correct. The people making the new Estonia documentary even contacted me for using these clips but in the end they decided not to.

Stfu, we all know it.

Same here. On Corsica Ferries they finally get the respect they deserve.

@Finn Rudebeck if you look at the many videos from Corsica Ferries, they are very well maintained. In good paint and also the interiors have been refurbished with a lot of money. Silja Line and later Tallink didn't do much about that in the late 90's. I also believe they are their flagship ships as they appear in so many videos. Who would give that status to a 35 years old ship normally?

@Finn Rudebeck I am not claiming that they don't take care of their ships now, but the whole company management was in bad hands in the 90's, a lot of changes in the ownership etc. Also when Tallink bought them, they didn't put too much effort on these older ships either. They have since then, and it seems there is also a change of plans because Silja Symphony and Serenade are probably gonna sail 'til the end of their career in here rather than being sold.

​@@joonasvahamaki5210 I'm not sure about Serenade and Symphony and the end of career. Emission standards can end their duty earlier than thought... Anyway, good video's Joonas. Ive watched the old Viking Sally clips as well. Great even if kind of spooky when you know her faith.. 👍

I believe it is as it matches the blueprints. I cannot imagine the horror felt by the passengers awakaned by the violent list at deck 1. Many became paralyzed with fear, elderly people couldn't cope with the increasing list and were unable to climb out of their cabins and could not navigate the steep and narrow stairs leading upwards in the ship. It must have been sher terror to be in this maze-esque environment, being in the bottom of this giant metal tomb, roof and floors eventually becomes walls which in turn becomes very claustrophobic combined with the rising water entering the ship, the dissorientation, the uncertanty, the feeling of being in a giant descending elevator, the lights go out and only screams can be heard. RIP

Can't remember. Would need a deckplan to confirm this, too bad I couldn't find one when I know there was such in every Viking Line brochure in the 80's, but it seems no one has uploaded one of Sally.

I did find a very low quality photo by Googling for it, and even it is still difficult to see details from it, you are probably right. The location matches to the corridors.

Yes, that is the stair down to the sauna.

@@joonasvahamaki5210 I have a deckplan. Give me your email.

Yes. The corridors on the old Papenburg designs were a maze. Same with ex-Diana II that was built a year earlier.

Deck 1 is the car deck, so it has to be deck 0 where the sauna, conference rooms and some cabins are located.

@@harleyrider76 deck 2 (and 3) is the car deck(s). Deck 0 is indeed the pool and sauna. This is deck 1 with all the cabins. The rounded wall on the right side seen at 0:17 is the spiral staircase to deck 0.

I would like to hear Estonia's horn too

Itse en enää tämän jälkeen sillä mennyt, mutta samaa olen kuullut. Että ei paljoa ollut muuttunut.

Älä?

Yes. That's 70's design for ya. Even the ones on upper decks, but especially some of the secondary stairs in the decks below the car deck. Even still, more people got out from there.

Joonas Vähämäki i think those secondary stairs were the cause on some of the cloging, people got cramped on the stairgurds, i think that the main problem coming from those stairs, was to get out of the ship, through those wide hallways

Tallink Kobee Det står ju 1989 om du läser mer på infot om videon.

@@davidbjork5063 early 1989 står det

Even more interesting. I was 7 years old in 1989. I was there then travelling a summer day from Mariehamn to Turku. I have several pictures of me as a child.

Fem år senare efter denna video gjordes sjönk denna båt som hette Estonia

Yeah, indeed. I think I first saw the punch cards in 1988 on Amorella. Not sure about the 1985 Svea. Before that normal keys were common and they didn't usually convert older boats to new standards at that time.

Sorry for late reply, did not get any notification. Thank you for your information! Interesting facts that is not written anywhere. I thought punch cars was older invention... I remember when they started use of magnetic plastic cards that you had to return back...then later came those onetime cards in paper. Would be kind of cool see those old keys or those hole cards. But today I think its converted all. Big thanks for your video too! Interesting see the interiour of the ship not many pics or videos out there.

@@davidbjork5063 hello David. Yes, I don't seem to get notifications either, so another year has passed. Back in the day of keys they had to have all keys at the information desk on board and this is just a thought, but possibly when ships got bigger and there were also more and more cabins, it became impossible to keep such big collection of keys anywhere. This is just what I am thinking and not based on any fact.

@@joonasvahamaki5210 Ok that was reality also in hole cards time and sometime even with the magnetic cards. But I guess holecard and magnetic cards was much easier to reprogram 😊 I now got notification right. No problem 😉 You understand finnish?
