Fine ship, I went on board when she was being built at Dunkerque, fascinating experience for a layman to see a ship in the stages of building. Then when she entered service was a daily part of my work life until the Train Ferry ended in 1995.

there is a clip on You Tube of the operation at Dover, search for Railwatch Pas De Calais Trainship.
