MV Great Expectations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The MV Great Expectations is a catamaran ferry operating on the Hythe Ferry service. This service connects the town of Hythe and the city of Southampton, across Southampton Water in England.
The MV Great Expectations was originally introduced in 1992 and was originally used on the White Horse Ferries Ltd service across the River Thames from Tilbury to Gravesend in Kent. She is named after the Charles Dickens novel, Great Expectations, in which the countryside of Kent and the marshes on the lower regions of the Thames feature heavily.
When White Horse ceased operating the Tilbury to Gravesend service, they moved the MV Great Expectations to be the front-line vessel on their Hythe service.
