St Cecilia

St CeciliaSt Cecilia was built in the middle of Yorkshire, being launched sideways into the River Ouse and entering service in March 1987 and remaining on the Portsmouth - Fishbourne service ever since. In 2001 she stared as a fictional "Norselink" ferry in a Gérard Depardieu film.

 

Plans have been formulated to increase St Cecilia's capacity by stretching her 12 metres.
