The original name was the Prins Filip and the Belgian company was RMT. Sad to see how it looks like now

It's now 25 years old, and it passed through I think 7 or 8 hands. It's like with us, if you have a life with lots of changes it's also to see in man faces.

Beautiful! I like ferries, my province British Columbia is actually home to the second largest ferry system in the world.

I like them too, I think I should have some 50 different ferries captured in GB and at other places.

I plan to upload them, but slowly not all at once. I've also a picture of the channel hovercraft, and I traveled twice ( or should I say fly ) with it.
