Past and Present

Introduction

Past and Present is an item intended to illustrate the various vessels, past, and present which have a connection (however obscure) with the Port of Dover. Past and Present is a feature researched, compiled and presented by Nigel Thornton (DoverT) and published by myself, Ray Goodfellow.

Principally ferry based but now expanding to incorporate cruise vessels and the many other vessels which make up Dover's varied maritime scene. The Past and Present concept has now expanded to incorporate our interactive
forum with board based Past and Present files plus Nigel's "Blast from the Past" and "Maritime Blast" features*.

All features are the combined efforts of many contributors and our aim is to provide useful clear information to site visitors.

We aim to show the history of a vessel in words and pictures from it's launch to its current operational status, which unfortunately in some cases means the cutters touch in the scrap yard.

Information and/or photographs are always welcomed for inclusion in the Past and Present articles, all we ask is that you have permission to use any photographs you submit.

We would like to state here and now that all information is believed to be correct and that we do not accept responsibility for any errors or omissions made.
