In the late 1960s, P&O established ferry services in the North
Sea and English Channel. Roll-on/roll-off operations and
containerisation were introduced and new ships, facilities and
investment was needed to take advantage of developments. What
followed was several decades of growth, buyouts and divisions. The
twenty-first century saw the closure of several routes as the
ferries saw increased competition from low-cost airline and the
Channel Tunnel. Throughout this period, P&O attracted a loyal
customer base and became one of the most recognisable names on the
sea. Utilising a selection of rare and previously unpublished
images, maritime historian Ian Collard delves into the story of
this iconic company and its ships.
