Last night at The George & Dragon in Headcorn after our long days work Simon (Mark's Younger brother) started talking about 'gravity' as a film script title; a fair website here for your writings??? which bought up a little known memory about a woman that used to work next door to well to cut a long story shortish she had the most wonderful legs I think I had ever seen I'm a no-brainer so it's up to me to think of some foolish things sometime and I left her a note about a science fact (not yet fiction)

Herald of Free Enterprise
ship Map
The Herald of Free Enterprise, like her sister ships Pride of Free Enterprise and Spirit of Free Enterprise, was a modern ro-ro passenger/vehicle ferry designed for use on the high-volume short Dover-Calais ferry route. She could accelerate rapidly to her service speed of 22 knots. She was certificated to carry a maximum of 1,400 persons.
At 433 feet long and 7,950 gross tons, the Herald was of record size at her launching in 1980 and was one of the prides of the 22-ship Townsend Thoresen fleet. She had two main vehicle decks and at Dover and Calais double–deck ramps connected to the ferry, allowing simultaneous vehicle access to both decks. At Zeebrugge there was only a single-level access ramp which did not allow simultaneous deck loading. Ferry turnaround time was longer at this port. This single ramp could not quite reach the upper vehicle deck and so water ballast was pumped into tanks in the bow of the Herald to facilitate loading.

Accidents and the lessons learned
