This is how folk used to travel to/from France in 1960...

 

The structure ahead of the ferry is the old submarine pens, now long demolished.

 

The modern ferries are very much larger than the "Maid of Kent"!

This was the ferry as a small child we would take to get to New Jersey ...You can see the bridge in the video that made the ferry be put out of service

 

Bridge was named Commodore Barry Bridge

Ferry was the Chester Bridgeport

This is what happens when the larger, more modern ones reach the end of their lives.

Here's one of the new replacements now in service between Dover and Calais - "Spirit of Britain".
