1988 - Southampton to Cowes IOW
Dubbed from VHS tape 4:3, the video quality is a little outdated, (we're so spoilt now with mobile phones), but at least it has synced sound !
Red Funnel "Cowes Castle" car ferry, passing Southampton Quay before the redevelopment of all of the buildings and the Marina,
....down Southampton Water, passing "Island Scene", and Isle of Wight trip boat,
.....then passed by the Red Funnel "Shearwater" hydrofoil foot ferry, then again going the other way as we reach the Cowes waterfront,
.....past Shephard's Wharf, before the Marina redevelopment,
...then at 05:08 minutes, arriving at the East Cowes terminal, the video immediately continues with the return journey, a week later,
...."Cowes Castle" again, showing the docking procedure with the movable ramp,
....at 09:58, a brief glimpse of a military looking version of a new SRN4 vehicle carrying hovercraft at the rear of Westland's sheds at East Cowes,
.... at 11:49, it calls in at West Cowes Pier, as it did in those days, for cars as well as passengers, as it had a loading door in the side as well.
