The addition of the Manxman to the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's fleet in 2023 marked the culmination of a project to transform sea travel to and from the Isle of Man.
The company's new vessel brings additional passenger and freight capacity, a radical improvement to the quality and range of onboard facilities and enhanced green credentials through the use of fuel-efficient technology.
This book outlines the detailed story of the background to the project, the philosophy underpinning the design and the process of building the Manxman. The epic delivery voyage from Korea is recounted in detail, whilst the recent history of the operator adds context to the story.
Well-illustrated throughout with photographs of the Manxman and her predecessors. Hardback. 132 pages.
