Hopefully I've got the position right after nearly 20 years. Ben My Chree was one of the last side loading steam powered car ferries, built mid-60s for Isle of Man Steam Packet and scrapped not too long after I took its photograph. I never did get on board but it was probably similar to the Sealink vessels and I've done a very disreputable example of one of them.
