CAPITAINE LE GOFF
Pictured c1970.
By Stephen Morris
A few photographs taken around 1970 of the Capitaine le Goff, one of the first freight ferries operating alongside the Valencay, Villandry and Falaise.
For many years the lettering CLG could still be seen on the pilings alongside the secondary loading ramp where the freight ferries later loaded before the arrival of the fast ferries.
The first photograph was taken before days of tight security when it was still possible to explore the quay side as an inquisitive ship spotter!
The second picture shows the Capitaine swinging across the river before heading for Dieppe bow first.
A different perspective from the East Pier to witness her departure.
