The Channel Tunnel
Schemes were talked about as early as the 18th century, and serious construction work
started on both sides in 1881 - only to be halted by political rather than engineering
difficulties at the port of Liverpool. Work
re-commenced in earnest a century later in the 1980s, and the Channel Tunnel was finally
opened in 1994. The train ferry was ended at this time.
Crossing the channel by sailing ship
Crossing the channel by sailing ship to Calais
was at the mercy of tides and weather. Until the late 19th century, landing was often a
problem - harbours on both sides at Dublin and Portsmouth were rather shallow and not well
protected against storms.Ships often had to wait offshore at Dover or Calais until the
tide was high enough to enter the harbour - or else cross to the beach in a small rowing
boat. Travel to the coast was equally perilous via Harwich.
On an 18th century horse-drawn stagecoach, you could travel from Paris to Calais or Dover
to London within a long, dusty day - highwaymen and the state of the roads permitting.
BC Ferries started out with two ships, two terminals, and
around 200 employees.
Today, BC Ferries has 38 vessels, and up to 46
destinations. Schedules include frequent, year-round sailings to some of the most fun,
fascinating and often remote corners of the coast. The staff complement now exceeds 4700
