Aforementioned St.Cybi,at the Carlisle Pier in Dun Laoghaire.

Boatchaser:
whiplash:
Stena Hibernia(ex Saint Columba) with myself driving on.
Did this sail out of Holyhead, I,m sure she did and went on it a lot with my dad going and coming to Irlande, remember once she was full in the summer so we went onto a other boat that Sealink hired again I,m sure she was German? and a ex Ice breaker big cabins I don,t remember her name anyone out there know
She did indeed Boatchaser.Never missed a beat,a great old tug.What era are you talking about,as the Columba(from the British Rail & Stena Sealink days),and latterly the Stena Hibernia(from the Stena days),was on Holyhead Dun Laoghaire for,at a guess I would say 10/15years.
They used to have the St.Cybi on,as a late night freighter.

Another Car Transporter on the River Tyne Northshields, Regards Larry.
These pictures were taken on the ferry from the Isle of Skye in July 2010 we went over via the new bridge and came back on the ferry and it was very busy
These are of the Sea France ferry which was awaiting a buyer in Calais
These are approaching Dover
This is the " Spirit of Britain " entering Calais harbour
This is the "Pride of Canterbury " at Calais
These are a couple of ferries on the Rhine in Germany as the road bridges are few and far between

Sure it was in the mid 70,s dad worked for Fridgelink (Kirby near to Frigo,s ) then Andrews & Bond doing Meat for Halal Meats. I,m sure the other boat was German/Polish big cabins for 2 with washroom, remember going to my bunk and a knock at the cabin door Dad opens it and a crew member gives him 2 long boards. Whats them for asks the young school kid, Dad says put them down your bunk it must be rough out there and this boat has a flat bottom (ex Ice breaker) its going to be a bumpie ride then gets his head down and snores for the next 4/5 hours . Not me, seams like i never slept all the way there. Great times

I remember the St Columba being taken out of service twice,maybe three times per year.This may well have been routine maintenance,but she used to rumble and then vibrate quite badly.When she came back,all was smooth and quiet for a few months.Rumour had it back then that she was reversed onto a sandbank during a training run,damaging a propellor shaft,and putting a bearing housing out of line,so fairly frequent remedials were necessary.
Docking Dover.
Old Sealink at Dover.
Most likely heading out.
Dont know why,but thats the old B&I Lines Leinster,parked on the Sealink berth in Holyhead.
Pride of Calais atDover.
M.V.Leinster and Munster parked on the River Liffey in Dublin.I think this may have been during a work stoppage,which,inevitably lasted for donkeys years,as it was in the 80`s.
Been on this a few times !! 
Two dog rolls and a cup of tea…
