My tribute to St Catherine - the first of the St Class ferries, faithfully serving the Isle of Wight since 1983.

The end of this video shows St Catherine's final ever departure from Fishbourne giving a farewell blast - She is then given a farewell blast from the waiting St Clare (whom St Catherine welcomed in the same way in 2001).

EDIT: St Catherine (GB Conte) departed the UK for her new life in Italy on July 31st 2010.

  • It's very sad to see this old girl go but it was her time

  • @Solentferrychannel Sorry should be St Clare

  • @Solentferrychannel For some unknown reason i had comnav in my head even though i had seen a picture of her with Delcomar on her side in huge letters!!!!!!!!. She is listed on the Delcomar website as well. Any idea when she will be going and will she be going under tow or her own power. Personally i would have got rid of St Claire

  • @incat86 i went down to netley last weekend and i was filming the red funnel ferrys and i noticed the new name Delcomar writen on the st catherine, lol, i go down netley and hythe alot in my spare time.

  • @incat86 @incat86 I think it's a company called Delcomar actually because thier livery is now painted on her side at Hythe.

  • Thanks for this great tribute. Me and my family have traveled to the island many many times of the St Catherine over her many years of service. Very sad to see her go. I hope her sisters remain on IOW duties for many more years to come.

  • @Solentferrychannel She is off to Italy for a company called Comnav.

  • It's a shame that she has been retired and is currentlly sitting at Hythe (Solent Refit)!!!

  • lovely video, but its sad to see the st catherine go, btw where is st catherine going to?
