[SIZE=3]Puerto Eden, Chilean Large Ferry laid down 1940[/SIZE]
The MS Puerto Eden was laid down in 1940 as part of the Chilean government's program to further develop the southern regions of Aisen and Magallanes. Due to the distances involved, a ship was designed capable of serving as a ferry with overnight service.
