The Guardian has an article about changes made to ferries after the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/ Follow the link to the story.
Part of the article sounds familiar.
"If you are out to sea, the best lifeboat is the ship itself," says Mr Brookes.

It works better if you don't forget to close the bow doors sink the bloody thing doesn't it?

My grandfather was a survivor of the herald, he was a foreign exchange banker. I have lots of knowledge and stories of that terrible night. I work on-board the Pride of Dover at present P&O ferries. Any questions? |

Hello David.
Iain Yardley may have lots of questions for you; he is very interested in the Herald. I'll drop him an email to let him know you're on the Board, just in case he's missed your post.
Regards,
Paul.
Peace and noodles
