Stranraer's Princess Victoria 70th Anniversary

Commissioned by the community funded via Stranraer Common Good Fund , Dumfries and Galloway Council The Princess Victoria was one of the first roll on roll off designed ferries and made daily return crossings from Larne to Stranraer. Tragically it was caught up in severe weather during the great storm of 1953. The heavy seas led to the stern gates of the car deck being forced open and within four hours The Princess Victoria sank. It is thought that 177 people were on board including 49 members of the crew and that the disaster claimed the lives of 135 people. The tragedy had a huge impact on Stranraer and Larne. #southwestscotland #princessvictoria #princessvictoriadisaster
