Terrific inform,ation and pictures there chaps..absolutely spiffing! as we say in the colonies. I saw the Cote d'Albatre in Dieppe during its brief service there. Sadly and a bit stupidly I didnt photograph it, twould have been handy to have now. It started off in Dover with a lot of ballyhoo as i remember but sadly as pointed out above it was like a square peg in a round hole.
Fascinating about the oul Pride of Dover there..will be interesting to hear what becomes of her in the end. Great photos all round.
ps: Scotchie thats my champagne playtoy being delivered..bound for the Gateway at full speed.
