Valentia Island Ferry: Last Day

[Deleted member 99081]

The ferry that links my tiny Island to the mainland, in County Kerry Ireland has sailed it's last day. It's too old now and no longer safe for marine service. I took some still images of it on the last day with the Phantom 4 Advanced (my second one following a crash and loss a few weeks ago).

Two of the images,which have appeared in the nation Irish press, are shown below:

Nice, did they commission a new ferry?

Not yet, it's still under discussion with government ministers, who are considering a "bale-out". The ferry owners (whom I know) are €2 million short of what they need to buy one.

Ouch, that is a bit short on funding. Good luck with getting your services back to normal.
