Stena Explorer
Seen departing Dún Laoghaire for Holyhead for the very last time. This last crossing is possibly the last ever ferry crossing to leave Dún Laoghaire port. Sadly the vessel departed without fanfare which is disappointing considering the ports 180+ years of ferry history. Sadly this reflects the harbour authority's attitude of recent years towards the service.
