MV Gullfoss
MV Gullfoss was a ferry operating between Iceland, Denmark, and Scotland from 1950 to 1972. She replaced another Gullfoss. They were named after the much-visited Gullfoss waterfall. In 1939 Eimskip planned to replace the 1915 Gullfoss, but World War II intervened. Some days after launching, Gullfoss suffered a dust explosion, which killed four shipyard workers and injured two. On 14 May 1950 Gullfoss made her maiden voyage from Copenhagen, Denmark, carrying 164 passengers, arriving in Reykjavík, Iceland, on Saturday, 20 May, to a ministerial welcome.
