Pride of York Ferry
>> Listen to this Article or Add to Podcast
Now the weather is improving Debbie and I have been out and about with the camera again. We decided to pop along to King George Dock in Kingston upon Hull and watch the P&O Ferries vessel Pride of York leave the dock on its journey across the North Sea to Zeebrugge in Belgium.
When the Pride of York is in Hull it spends the day moored in King George Dock which isn't accessible to the public. It enters and leaves the dock via a lock and watching this large passenger carry vessel travel through the lock is well worth the time taken to watch it - about an hour.
The Pride of York ferry used to be called the Norsea before North Sea Ferries were taken over by P&O Ferries and the ferry was subsequently renamed in line with P&O's corporate naming policy. The Pride of York ferry is assigned to the Hull - Zeebrugge - Hull route and carries passengers, cars and cargo. Many of the passengers are taking a P&O mini cruise as Debbie and I have done in the past.
The Pride of York has a sister vessel which is on the same route called the Pride of Bruge, previously named Norsun.
We took a lot of photos as the ferry travelled through the lock and out into the River Humber. I have merged these photographs into a short video sequence which you can watch below.
If you're interested in making a visit to King George Dock to watch any of the ferries leave and you're not sure where you should be you can use the embedded map below to get directions.
