About MV Doña Marilyn

MV Doña Marilyn was a Philippine inter-island ferry owned and operated by Sulpicio Lines, Inc. Built in Japan as the Otohime Maru in 1966, it was purchased by Sulpicio Lines in 1976 and renamed the MV Doña Ana, it suffered a fire in October 8th, 1978 and underwent refitting, being put back on service as the MV Doña Marilyn. In the afternoon of October 24, 1988, while sailing from Manila to Tacloban City, the vessel was caught up in Typhoon Ruby and sank near Higatangan (or Gigatangan) Island, Biliran, leaving approximately 400 dead or missing. Survivors numbered at least 181. Doña Marilyn was a sister ship of the ill-fated MV Doña Paz, which had sunk a year earlier in the deadliest ever peace-time maritime disaster.
