Whilst understandably a large proportion of the ferries shown were taken around the south east coast of England, there was a good selection from other ferry ports of the UK. Ferries serving the Channel Islands, the Scilly Isles, Ireland, the Isle of Man, services in Scotland and the east coast of England, There were also a few taken of services on the continent.
During the last thirty years there have been more than a few name changes, mergers and working agreements, which has given, Ken a good excuse (if one were needed) to go and photograph ships in their new names, colours and liveries. Many a ship was shown with British Rail�s opposing arrow (or barbed wire) emblem and then with the �galloping maggot� of Sealink. The show is accompanied by a very comprehensive history of each ship and her subsequent names and fate. This gives an invaluable record of ferry trends; from the Paddle steamer �Ryde� to the fast catamarans on the Portsmouth Isle of Wight run, and the �Lord Warden� to the �Hoverspeed Great Britain� on the Dover service. Thank you Ken for coming to present your excellent show. We hope it will not be another ten years before you come and see us again!
