ABOVE: Comparable views of the 'Burgundy' in her first two liveries
On the left, as the Pride of Burgundy, seen departing Calais on a gloomy day in July 1994. The second picture sees P&OSL Burgundy coming astern into Dover in March 2001. Both pictures demonstrate the lengthy passenger walkway that is required to give access from the passenger accomodation, over the open stern upper freight deck to the stern-loading shore passenger gangways at her home port. This concentration of all passenger accomoation relatively far forward is a legacy of being originally conceived as a freighter with the forward superstructure as seen in her unconverted sisters. |
