The car deck of MV Farringford is seen as the vessel awaits to depart from Hull Corporation Pier for New Holland. When ordered by the Southern Railway just after the war for use on the Yarmouth to Lymington route it was designed as a straightforward drive on-drive off ferry capable of carrying thirty-two cars. However, when it was transferred to the Humber route in 1978 it was converted to sideloading with capacity increasing to forty cars. It is seen here waiting at Hull Corporation pier preparing to sail to New Holland
