VERSAILLES / CHARTRES
Entering the Harbour / Moored up / Turning around / Leaving / Damage
By Laurie Stonehouse
Versailles
This is another cross channel ferry that Newhaven will probably never see again. The ships name "Versailles" lives on at the cape, as each block of flats has been named after past Ferries of Newhaven.
Chartres
The Chartres was badly damaged whilst entering the harbour at Dieppe during a violent storm, it was quite some time before we saw her back at Newhaven, this happened during the 1990's.
