THREE SHIPS FROM DIFFERENT ERAS

Courtesy of our 'sister' site at Pevensey Bay - www.pevenseybay.org.uk - which has quite a section on Newhaven Harbour, here are three ships that will be very familiar to many Newhaven residents.

Photo:Brighton (VI) - 1950, our last British passenger steamer. Perhaps the most handsome of all of them? Seen herelaid up at the Railway Quay at the end of the 1966 season.

Photo:Senlac (1973) looking very smart, probably having just returned from her refit and repaint, ready for the new season.
