Alba, is one of Sweden's most iconic motor cruisers, built in 1911 and with a long and proud history. This handsome ship has been owned by Gustaf LM Ericsson, the founder of Ericsson, and is a living piece of Swedish maritime history. Today, Alba, now M/Y Mariana Catharina, is restored to 85% of its original condition after a careful renovation that has been going on since the 1980s and where over SEK 1.3 million has been invested. Every detail has been carefully restored to preserve the ship's classic charm and elegance. With its rich history and exquisite craftsmanship, M/Y Mariana Catharina is a unique chance to own one of Sweden's most beautiful motor cruisers. The boat was built by Knut Ljungberg at Hästholmsvarvet on Lidingö. The renovation is ongoing and some parts of the equipment remain to be completed.
