Instructions to passengers in the [unlikely] event of an emergency situation. . Having worn a "proper" lifejacket a few times, I'm not sure that I like the design of those ! It is intended to protect your neck if you have to jump ...

Passenger-carrying certificates and dedication plaques. Annoyed that the lower one is illegible because it is an inscribed mirror. [On the bulkhead, just as you go into the cafeteria having gone past the doggy lounge. There was a really yappy something or other in there, but it eventually went to sleep]

Ben-my-Chree doing her pirouette in the harbour at Douglas, after which she'll back onto the linkspan on the Edward VIII pier, nearer to the camera. Mannan often uses the linkspan on the Victoria Pier - the outside [north face] is currently occupied by "Corinthian".

View from the observation deck [just above & behind the bridge] as Ben-my-Chree approaches Douglas Bay, Isle of Man. I think the mainly white buildings framed by the aerial array are on Onchan Head, with Douglas further to the left.

Still waiting for the call for foot passengers to disembark. The car & waggon drivers are already assembling on the vehicle decks. {most of the HGV trailers are unloaded by "tugs" driven at quite a speed by their operators, parked up to await collection by the on-island tractor units}

Plenty of lifeboats and liferafts - in the "cannisters" ... and no doubt lifejackets as well. Just had a look at the various signs and heard the safety announcement.

A small image of the Isle of Man Steam Packet's two ferries. The nearer one is the MS "Ben-my-Chree" manx for "Woman of my Heart" [in service - 1998] and the one further away is the HSC "Manannan" in Douglas Harbour. . {from the water movements around her bow, Ben-my-Chree, is either arriving or just leaving - Not my Image : Fair Use & public information}

The door is exceptionally heavy and the winds do their best to keep it shut. However, if the weather is good, the view from the top deck is worth the visit.

Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's ferry "Ben-my-Chree" approaching Douglas. The sea is less than smooth. Her name is Manx for Woman of my Heart, built in 1997/8 in Holland. It is intended that she will become the third / reserve vessel in the fleet sometime around 2019-21. wiki - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Ben-my-Chree
