The MV Farringford is seen powering away from New Holland Pier with the 13.15 sailing to Hull. The city of Hull can be seen on the far bank of the Humber estuary with the huge Hull Royal Infirmary dominating the skyline to the far right. Notice the side loading bulwarks on MV Farringford. These were added in 1977 when the ferry was converted for use on the Humber crossing from a roll-on-roll-off configuration in which form it operated when first in use on the Lymington to Yarmouth Isle of Wight route.
