| has gloss | eng: | |} MS Stockholm was the name of two near-identical ocean liners built by Cantieri Riuniti dell' Adriatico, Monfalcone, Italy between 1936 and 1941 for the Swedish American Line. During the mid-1930s the company begun planning a new, larger ship to replace one or several of the older ones. At approximately the new ship would be nearly half again as large as the Kungsholm (then the largest ship in the SAL fleet), but due to the differences in passenger demographics she would carry only 1295 passengers compared to the 1544 of the Kungsholm. As with her purpose-built predecessors, it was decided to equipt the ship with diesel engines instead of steam turbines favoured by most transatlantic shipping companies of the day. |
