Lovely footage. The ferry is the Caledonian Princess, which was purpose built for Stranraer to Larne in 1961. She then spent some time on other routes (mostly Fishguard to Rosslare) from about 1968, until she was transferred to the Channel Islands in 1975. She was transferred again to Dover in 1981, before retiring later that year and spending the next 27 years as a floating nightclub first in Newcastle, then Glasgow, then back to Newcastle. She was finally towed away for scrap in 2008.
Really nice...
Thanks a lot
