Boulogne Maritime

HSC Hoverspeed Great Britain at the quayside next to the Gare de Boulogne Maritime. This Tasmanian-built Incat catamaran held the Blue Ribband (Hales Trophy) for the fastest east-bound trans-Atlantic passenger ship crossing which was achieved in 3 days, seven hours and 52 minutes in 1990. She was then used by Hoverspeed to ply the short sea crossings Dover/Folkestone to Calais/Boulogne. This vessel was later used on the Stranraer-Belfast route.
