    What a lovely thread! I worked on her in the mid sixties. Summer seasons as asst steward and also asst purser. Johnny Hopkins was one of the great characters.

    My beef however is that I read comments bemoaning the fact that she was not preserved and it is almost criminal that she was allowed to go for scrap but local support for our Save the TSS Dover campaign is to say the least muted. DHB don't want to know and membership of the group is tiny.

    Luckily our friends in the north have taken her to their hearts and it looks as though we will be raising her and dry docking her in the foreseeable!

    She is the world's last surviving steam turbine car ferry. Let's ensure that she comes back to her old home port!
