| Acknowledgements Thanks to Guy Blanchout, Joe Canavan, Ferry Fantastic, M. Fournet, Mark Leiper, Scott Mackey, Mikael Nord, Andrew Orr, Bruce Peter, Richard Seville, Nigel Thornton, Nikos Thrylos, Neil Tierney, Sebastiaan Toufekoulas and Ewan Wood for their help and for the use of their material and pictures. Mention should be made of the crews of the two ships, particularly of Fantasia in her Alkmini A and Wawel days when locked doors were opened, lights switched on and the ISPS rules sanely interpreted. Thanks also to the Kockums Shipyard for the use of Zenobia pictures. And my particular gratitude goes to the late Warren Platner for his help and for creating Fantasia and Fiesta, as they were, the ultimate Cross-Channel ferries. |
