Eksund/Ölandsund II

The Dutch coaster Jaba, 1937, was sold in 1958 to Sweden as Ölandsund II, lengthened in 1963 and renamed Ölandssund II. Her final end as Eksund is known. My question is: are there photo's as Ölands(s)und II?

Here comes a picture as Ölandssund II.
By the way the 'Ölandssund' was also built in The Netherlands; at Dordrecht.

Not a good quality, but the Eksund as she was built as Jaba.

Bo Friberg, Gotland send me this photo of the Ölansund II in the harbour of Visby, Gotland in 1972.

The correct spelling should be ÖLANDSSUND - with 2 'S':es.[/u]

Thanks Torsten for your photo. It looks she was rebuilt for roll-on/roll-off traffic. I noted that after her sale to Sweden she was renamed Ölandsund and after lengthening her name was too lengthened with two ss. So I must concluded she never trader with one s.
