S/S "Queen Victoria" Building Low Low Walker Yard launched February 21, 1909 in service in the Navy September 5, 1939 The help cruiser Queen Victoria was a Swedish train ferry belonging to the State Railways and was convened as auxiliary cruiser in the Swedish Navy during World War II. - Sassnitz, was summoned in connection with the outbreak of the Second World War on September 1, 1939 and rebuilt at Finnboda shipyards. During the outbreak of the war, there was urgent need to get mines out and when the miners Clas Fleming needed to be modernized, it was important to get a replacement. The summons took place on September 5 and remodeling for minute connectors was completed on September 14. The ship was in the lead role at the outlet of 90 mines in the so -called northern mining in southern Kvarken in December 1939. When a large number of railway wagons remained in Germany at the outbreak of war, she was temporarily returned to SJ for the wagons to be taken home. The ship was held war, but she did not do any further efforts for the Navy. There were plans to use her in a Swedish invasion of Zealand in connection with Operation Save Denmark in the spring of 1945. She was returned to the State Railways in 1945 and was deployed on the Trelleborg - Travemünde route.
