Umm, the worst ferry trip I had was Guernsey to Weymouth a few Xmas's ago and that had all except 6 of us pukking. But this is horrific, I am surprised they left in this.
Must have been some damage I'd guessed.

Old Stornoway ferry

It's the old Suilven - that's the sort of performance she gave in the Minch for 20 years!

Re: Old Stornoway ferry

Nah it was the Hengist which used to be a cross channel ferry and got pensioned off.
It went aground at Folkestone after a horrendous storm in the early 80'. This was on a TV program the other week where they bought all of the crew involved back together. Interveiwing the Captain he was saying that in the port they were snapping 4 inch warps and he ran out of replacements so had to cast off. Then a Genny broke loose, smashed all the electrics and drifted ashore!

That'll be why the images are Suilven1,2,3,4... She did 20 years with Caledonian MacBrayne before emigrating, under her original name, for use in NZ.
