Loved the trips to IOM as a kid, sometimes a rough crossing ! Remember going via the Viking from Fleetwood having travelled on the "boat train" from Manchester.
Traveled on the last run of the Lady in 1997 to Liverpool after the TT. It is to be remembered that at this time the IOMSP had six ferry boats and a freight boat, Now down to one mixed cargo (passenger/freight)ferry + a cat + one 'freight' boat. Once sailed on the duplicate service ( the postal, fruit and veg, light cargo and passenger service) from Liverpool which took less the 3 hours for the trip. Full steam ahead once out of the river. Nearly fast enough for water skiing?

Fantastic work
The best ship
Oh the nostalgia of 3 manx ships in the harbour together
Miss the old side loaders...The Lady was one of the nicer ships.
I never knew she could carry cars!
Fleetwood 10 times nicer to sail from than Heysham!
Fleetwood looks dismal
