Steam Packet crew member gets traditional farewell

Fire hoses were also set off

A Steam Packet crewman, who is retiring from the company, was given a noisy farewell this evening as the Ben My Chree entered Douglas.

The ferry had a tug escort by the Laxey Towing Company as she crossed the bay and approached her berth.

Horns were sounded and fire hoses set off as the crewman, a long serving bosun, enjoyed a traditional seagoing farewell.
