Blog launched
08/02/2009
Site re-opened. There will be various updates of the pages and indexes over the next few weeks, most existing pages have already been updated to reflect developments over the past couple of years whilst there is an ongoing pruning process to eliminate old or irrelevant material. The main site's focus remains specific current and ex-British ferries, their interiors and their histories. Future voyage reports, relating to this core content or not, will continue to appear in the indexes for completeness, but will actually be part of the blog.
