A classic passenger ferry built by Morgan Giles in 1937 and registered as a National Historic Ship. She’s been in the same ownership since the 1940s and was most recently operated as the Torquay - Babbacombe passenger ferry. She was coded MCA class 6, maximum 50pax, up to 1-mile offshore (1st boat in UK to get equivalency not required to carry liferafts).
She is currently wintering ashore and will undergo re-fit work demonstrating the owner’s ongoing commitment to her well being.
