MS Batory

MS Batory

The M/S "Batory" was a large (14,287 BRT) ocean liner of the Polish merchant fleet, named after Stefan Batory, Sixteenth-Century king of Poland. Dubbed the "Lucky Ship" for her military career during the World War II, she was a sister to the less fortunate MS "Piłsudski" (sunk in 1939). Built in 1936 in the Monfalcone Shipyard in Trieste, she was among the most notable tourist attractions of the Polish seaside and among the best-known Polish ships of the time. Mobilized at the outbreak of WWII, she served as a troop transport and a hospital ship for the rest of the war. Returned to Poland in 1946, she continued her civilian service, transporting such eminents as Ryszard Kapuscinski, until 1971, when she was scrapped in Hong Kong and replaced by TSS Stefan Batory.
