Pride of Dover The last journey to Turkey.flv

[@SimonRML2456]

Sailed on this vessel many times between Dover and Calais , sad to see her leaving under the steam of a tug and not her own...... Thank you Pride of Dover for many safe sailings.

[@RayGoodfellow79]

Excellent video Ted, thank you for sharing and best wishes.

[@blaxton1946]

Another great video many thanks for this.

[@gemmastone285]

Sailed many times on the dover and Calais.... the two ships that replaced them just don't have the same feel

[@DC1956]

Sailed on this vessel a few times while working for Club Cantabrica Coaches in the late 80s

[@GAFAAAAAA]

I watched this from my school window, wondering where she was going and what she was going to do there. Great video!!!

[@jamesfarnarkler]

Yep did the Dover - Calais run onboard Dover and Calais taking coaches to Brugge, Brussels and Paris from 2000 - 2007.

[@slovenija968]

Thank you for many safe sailings.Best company ever P&O.

[@jeremyhaines4481]

Both The Pride of Dover and The Pride of Calais were fine excellent ships in their days but the new ships The spirit of Britain and spirt of France have double the capacity of the dover and Calais

[@stephenjohnson2195]

Do we not have the capacity in our own dockyards to break up scrap vessels? We can break road vehicles, railway rolling stock, and even aircraft so why not ships. Just seems ludicrous to tow it to Turkey.

[@redsandsforts]

The Pride of Dover is at this time being broken up at Aliaga,Turkey. Her sister ship Pride of Calais has been renamed Ostende Spirit and is on the Ramsgate to Ostende service.

[@wallochdm1]

Pretty modern looking vessel. Launched 1987.

RIP so sorry to see this "Chunnel Beater" going to the scrapyard.

[@mjcf1234]

Good stuff - thanks.

[@stephentattersall]

wow sad to see it been on it so many times on holidays

[@TheDaf95xf]

Had lots of great sailings on both ships when I was an international truck driver 😄 Shame they had to be towed all the way to Turkey for scrapping when we've got good facilities in the U.K. 🇬🇧 And we go on about the environment so towing it all that way is a nonessential only that's it's probably cheap labour that won 🙄

[@americanrambler4972]

More likely they (the Turkish ship breakers) probably paid more money for them or they may have been the only bidders.

[@boogiestreet594]

it was only built in 87... and was broken up in 2010... the pride of bruges was made in 87 and is still sailing!!! ffs the Stena Europa was built in 81... 40 years ago... why did no one buy it???

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Broken up in 2013 not 2010

[@Toby01976]

I sailed on her and her sister. Somewhere I have a picture of me at the age of eleven standing at one of the bottom row bow windows. Tragic end to what were young ships.

[@MrGiloine]

So sad......

[@mark-1rc502]

It is a shame I’ve sailed on her many times too, but I have to say it rattled like F&@K ! The sister ship p.o. Calais looked a little nicer when I was last on then , but the new ones are bigger and nicer .

[@nigelstringerNVS]

hi there' its san to see her go to another country lets hope she will still be used. do you no what they are going to do with her.

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Bean cans

[@sjc14031974]

[@CombraStudios]

I'm so sad

[@hunkymac]

The ship brackets are ship bullies if bus ask me In whales Thera an old ship rusting away and it's not been desturbed it's called the duck of lancaster and it's in KZbin

[@crumblydumpling9112]

What?!

[@oglinkgog]

I think I can translate: "The ship breakers are ship bullies if you ask me. In Wales there's an old ship rusting away and it's not been disturbed- it's called the Duke of Lancaster and it's on KZbin" :)

[@makiwa]

I'm sorry, but that is one ugly ship.....
