What the 1934s ferry is that?

Only saw this posting.

That looks like David MacBrayne's LOCHNEVIS. She was built in 1934 for the mail service in the Western Isles (Scotland) and lasted until 1969.

Continuing with a Scottish ferry theme.

This is a Dutch-built ferry which was built in 1961 and was sold to Western Ferries in 1988 and was renamed SOUND OF SLEAT. But what was her original name?

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #6313 on:** March 13, 2010, 19:59:48 »

That took me on a merry chase

De Hoorne

Kevinmcg_ships · « **Reply #6314 on:** March 13, 2010, 20:30:45 »

lol, well done Ferryman, it was DE HOORN indeed - I was convinced that you wouldn't find the answer on Google (I've checked it myself!

)

Here's SOUND OF SLEAT in her original role as the River Maas ferry

She has hardly been altered, apart from modifications to the end ramps.

In 2004 she was sold by Western Ferries, and is now a diving training vessel based at Holy Loch near Dunoon - only a stone's throw from her former Western Ferries route.

Question question...

Nathan|C · « **Reply #6316 on:** March 13, 2010, 21:51:08 »

2, the European Endeavour, and the Brave Merchant was charted by them back in 2003.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #6317 on:** March 13, 2010, 21:51:35 »

After 2 hours a questioneer may leave the computer, allowing him to admire his bathroom tiles, and explore the bounty that is to be discovered in the kitchen..
On such a venture I now embark..

You're very romantic, SD.

saltydog · « **Reply #6324 on:** March 14, 2010, 12:36:38 »

Yes, I'm a hopeless romantic..
