The wake produced by the water jets from "Manannan" as she makes the crossing to Liverpool, I estimated she was doing around 35 - 40 knots during most of the passage.

Damage on Manxman's stern, caused by a collision with the linkspan / piers ay Heysham either 20th or 21st August 2024, possibly due to high winds ? Some delays resulted at the ferries needed to use another berth. [That needs painting, at the very least !] not my image : fair use & public information

Quite a crowd of people have come to watch the new IoMSP ferry "Manxman" as she berths on the Edward VIII pier in Douglas Harbour, July 2023. She is carrying Captain Stephen Carter, the senior pilot for Douglas, in his last official engagement before retirement. . The little vessel with red funnel is the tug from the "Laxey Towing Co." and owned by Captain Stephen Carter. . Not my Image : fair use & public information

Instructions to passengers in the [unlikely] event of an emergency situation. . Having worn a "proper" lifejacket a few times, I'm not sure that I like the design of those ! It is intended to protect your neck if you have to jump ...

vertical deck plan ... showing the stairwells between the vehicle decks and the passenger spaces.

Passenger-carrying certificates and dedication plaques. Annoyed that the lower one is illegible because it is an inscribed mirror. [On the bulkhead, just as you go into the cafeteria having gone past the doggy lounge. There was a really yappy something or other in there, but it eventually went to sleep]

Plenty of lifeboats and liferafts - in the "cannisters" ... and no doubt lifejackets as well. Just had a look at the various signs and heard the safety announcement.

There are stairs and passageways all over this ferry ...

A small image of the Isle of Man Steam Packet's two ferries. The nearer one is the MS "Ben-my-Chree" manx for "Woman of my Heart" [in service - 1998] and the one further away is the HSC "Manannan" in Douglas Harbour. . {from the water movements around her bow, Ben-my-Chree, is either arriving or just leaving - Not my Image : Fair Use & public information}

The Ben-my-Chree is now ready to depart from Heysham ...

MV Snowdrop in her "Razzle Dazzle" livery, based on the WW1 "Dazzle" camouflage, applied in 2015. {not a particularly good image} The song lyric "Sailing across the Mersey" comes to mind ...

Approaching Tobermory the ferry we were on went past these rugged cliffs of Ardmore Point and discovered a long lasting wake.

I was wondering why a ferry appears to have a derrick / crane built onto the bridge. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Loch_Linnhe
