Red Funnel's Red Osprey photographed in Southampton on 4 April 2015.

I have sailed on her may times since 2008 when I have been holidaying on the Isle Of Wight.


She was built in Port Glasgow by Ferguson Shipbuilders as Yard Number 92 in 1994.  

As part of a group investment programme she sailed to Gdansk October 2003 where she had a new mid section inserted which extended her length to 93m, she was also fitted with a new high level vehicle deck which extended her vehicle capacity to approximately 200 cars and had some interior refit work undertaken which included a new entrance lobby, bar and cafeteria area. 

She can carry 215 cars on three decks and 895 passengers. 

In 2015 she was the second vessel in the fleet to have a major refurbishment which included a 55% increase in internal seats, two new lounges (one of which is pet friendly), a new contemporary design, the inclusion of air conditioning throughout, free Wi-Fi in all passenger areas and lift and wheelchair access to the outside promenade deck.

The new areas can be seen on the top promenade deck which was previously uncovered.

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
