Sealink Ferry "MV Hengist" Dover Eastern Docks. 1981.

Taken on my fathers Pentax camera as I didn't have a zoom lense for my Praktica at the time. Sealink Ferry "Hengist" is seen manoeuvreing within the harbour breakwater at Dover Eastern Docks with a cross channel sailing from Calais or Boulogne. 'Hengist' (GRT 5,590t) was built in 1972 and passed from British Rail ownership to P&O Sea Containers on privatisation in 1984 and then to Stena Sealink before Stena Line sold it March 1993 to a Greek shipping company. The ferry now operates on routes in the Aegean sea from Piraeus in Greece and carries the new name 'Panagia Ekatondapaliani'.
