Passenger Ships
Passenger Ships
Pictures of shipping. Principally the excursion ships of the Bristol Channel, including the aftermath of the sinking of Prince Ivanhoe off the Gower Coast in 1981. Also included are ferries and other passenger carrying craft.

Currently out of service, the MV Balmoral has undergone ultrasonic testing and an MCA (Maritime & Coastguard Agency) 5 Year Survey (effectively an MoT test) in dry dock at Sharpness. This has been followed by a partial repaint, including the hull below the waterline. On 7th June, with a clean bill of health, MVB sailed from Sharpness to return to Bristol via Avonmouth so that restoration work can continue with a view to the ship returning to service in 2015.
