The King Harry Ferry is a vehicular chain ferry that has been in existence since 1888 which crosses the Carrick Roads that is part of the estuary of the River Fal. Back in 1981 ferry Number 6 is seen being loaded ready to cross to the western side of the estuary. This particular ferry was built in 1974 and was designed to carry twenty-three to twenty-eight cars. It stayed in operation until 2007 when ferry Number 7 replaced it. The blue Ford Fiesta 1.3 Ghia about to board the ferry was less than a year old when this photograph was taken, it was last on the road in 1995.
