Ewen Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 This is an open decked ferry, no bow doors. Hope the cars were waxoyled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 That's just well dodgy. Herald of Free Enterprise springs to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 Added a couple more pics. That captain was taking a risk I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Good grief, pic 4 shows what free surface effect does to stability, and there's no way the Captain should have sailed in that. Wonder what state the vehicles were left in? Bet the owners are sueing the ass off the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Yes mate. That's well scary. Even open decked there's no way that amount of water can drain fast enough which means as the waves roll the vessel, the excess water will amplify it and keep it going. Very lucky to get to the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
