This video is really interesting! Thanks for uploading it! I have seen this several times. Most recently to determine that there are no goose necks on deck 1. At least not in 1989.
@@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 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.
@@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. 😂 😂 😂
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?

Both really creepy and fascinating seeing the ship as it was before she sank.

Thank you. Although I'm not sure what you mean by goose neck.
@@joonasvahamaki5210 ventilation pipes from the deck below.
Seeing this is actually a bit creepy, knowing how many people died right there 5 years later.
Is this Deck 1? Claustrophobic!
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.

The rounded wall to the right seen at 0:17, is that the staircase to deck 0 (pool/sauna)?

Yes, that is the stair down to the sauna.
@@joonasvahamaki5210 I have a deckplan. Give me your email.
I was in one big fistfight on this boat when it was named Wasa King.
Well that's a memory :)

@@Buttmaster666 wow. Well you did the right thing.
Pre-Estonia.
Hi, do you have video footage of deck 0 and the sauna / swimming pool area? Thanks!
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.
Interesting. Did they have ordinary keys to cabins that time? I remember those "hole cards" before they started to use magnetic keycards.
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.
