About this title

Synopsis

Free Enterprise I entered commercial service in April 1962, she was shockingly different with her pale green hull, wide beam and compact lines. This limited edition book follows the career of this pioneering vessel and includes a wealth of images of her in operation on the English Channel and in Greece.
