Hehehehe Diva Plus Class .............from Stena Line ;D

Anyone know which operator conveyed Ms Heuston across the Irish Sea?

AIS says destination Peurto Rico!

In bad weather I cant think of a better ship to be on than Ulysses , very solid in rough conditions and excellent handeling , Ulysses usually gives a smooth ride in all weather conditions , only once have I felt motion on Ulysses and that was during a tropical storm! , and no I dont work for Irish Ferries but I have travelled on many ships and in my experience , for bad weather Ulysses is the best of them.

That gallery is a lot bigger than I first thought , wonder how I missed that. :-[

Excellent stuff Swift , those really are spectacular pictures , I could only find these three over on www.shipspotting.com perhaps we could twist your arm into posting a few more? (I notice you have an increadable collection of outstanding pictures of ferries operating in Ireland)

From www.shipspotting.com , a few shots by John Byrne of the Bretagne in use as a spectators stand during the 1991 Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race.

Brttany Ferries has shown an interest in re-opening the Cork - St Malo service , using the Innisfallen during gaps in its operating sheduale would be one way of doing this.

The Innisfallen is unlikely to serve Roscoff , however having said that there is enough of a gap in the off-peak timetable to do a run to France under contract to Brittany Ferries if they wanted it to , given the ammount of help Brittany Ferries have given to the new B&I line I dont see the two companies competing with each other.

Yes you are free to copy and resize the picture as it is under a creative common licience , however I've noticed the shot did not come with accreridation on it (they usually do) pic is by Owen Barry

I've been trying to resize the above picture as only half is showing , anyone have any ideas?

A rare shot of the Oscar Wilde and Normandy together.

How come the Innismore ended up sailing to Dublin? I would have thought that with mostly Munster fans onboard Rosslare would have been the more locical port
