Built in Germany in 1958, the MS Oldenburg began her life as a Frisian Island ferry, serving communities along the German coast. Today, she plays a vital role as the ferry carrying passengers and supplies to and from Lundy Island.
In this special talk, John Puddy will trace the ship’s fascinating journey: from her early years in northern Europe, to her acquisition by Lundy, her extensive conversion in Bideford, and her continuing service to the present day.
