RE: Isle of Man Steam Packet Company
They had the old Side loading ferry way back in 2000 when I first moved to the IOM used that one and was very sick on it as was everyone else then took the seacat when we left the island in 2001 its got retired not long after I think. I also remeber the dodgy loading and unloading ramp Liverpool had for rear door ferrys that used to go up and down with the motion of the waves looked quite scary and dangerous. I also remember a certain wind change created havok for the ferrys to get into port some sat out there for ages sometimes at dusk if your out walking at Douglas you could see the lights of the ferry stranded outside port sometime with the ferry stranded youd often get the days newspaper in the afternoon or it was flown in
