Well-known merchant seaman and raconteur Captain Stephen Carter will be giving an illustrated talk to the Isle of Man Victorian Society on the Douglas Head steam ferries.
The ferries were a familiar sight into the 1970s, plying between the Victoria Pier and the Battery Pier in Douglas.
The talk takes place next Thursday (March 24) in St Ninian’s High School’s lecture theatre at 8pm.
It is open to the public for a charge of £1, including refreshments.
