Meaning of MS in the name of a Ship
Question by Mandy | 2016-09-27 at 12:32
I have noticed that a striking number of ships are having the abbreviation MS before or in their name. For example there are the cruise ships MS Deutschland, MS Europa or MS Delphin for only mentioning three ship names.
Does this MS has any special meaning or what does it stand for?
