The Weymouth Ferry.
The design looks as if it was conceived before health and safety regulations forced the ferryman to overload the boat with life rings. Theres a very neat inner transom that snugly accommodates one ring. The others compete for space with paying passengers.
These boats earn their keep. Whilst they might just be a small extravagance (50p) for the grockles (South Coast for tourist) they also save a walk around the harbour. In the five minutes I watched £5 of trade went across the harbour. Not bad going.
There was only one running when I was there last week. I dont know if they all work in peak season.
Theyre wonderfully utilitarian. Have a look at the square section blue-painted seat posts. No fancy turned pillars here.
