history
Until the late 19th century there was no regular ferry service to Ivö, but it was then started. A motorboat was in use from 1918, and a ferry was acquired in 1944. The first steel ship has been sailing since 1957. Today's Karna ferry has been on the route since 1987. The name of the ship is reminiscent of a woman named Karna who lived from 1875 to 1935 and who translated people to Ivö.
