Cornovia PostcardsKing Harry Ferry, Falmouth, Cornwall, c.1970 - John Hinde Postcard
Stoneface Vimes@Vibracobra23 I wonder what the large ship on the right is though.
@capnthommo Not sure. I can't quite read the name and the image search just shows a lot of very similar ships.
@Vibracobra23 yes. I've tried expanding the image too. All that happens is that as it becomes large enough to see it blurs into illegibility.
@capnthommo Aye, me too. It might be clearer on the actual card. I only scan at 200dpi for listings, but at 1200dpi for logos and publishers' initials etc for my website, but I'm working at the moment and this card is way back in another box.

> After her last voyage she sailed to Falmouth in Cornwall and was laid up in the River Fal[4] whilst BI decided what to do with a 7-year-old ship that was effectively obsolete for the role she was designed for.
> The ship was laid up in the River Fal from October 1962 to November 1964.
@dctrud @capnthommo Excellent! Thanks for that.
@capnthommo @Vibracobra23 thought the name looked “NEVADA” or similar… and got lucky on google.
@dctrud @capnthommo Better eyes than mine.
@dctrud @Vibracobra23 ok. Thanks. Students from my school went on an educational cruise on her sister ship Uganda in about 1969/70.
