Sight seeing trip onboard Harwich Harbour Ferry. 8th May 2018
The harbour ferry connects Suffolk with Essex. During the summer months holiday makers use the ferry to get a better view of the Port of Felixstowe.
For an adult £11 will get you a round trip starting at Felixstowe then crossing to Harwich and then onto Shotley before calling at Harwich again and back to Felixstowe. The trip takes about an hour. If the weather is nice and calm it will be a pleasant trip but the ferry rocks a bit when the sea is choppy.

Demolition of the Morris Ship to shore crane on Felixstowe Trinity 2. 9th October 2019
The British built Morris crane was built in 1981 on the quayside and has served for many decades and after all those years the time had come to say goodbye to another crane on the Trinity Terminal.
Preparations had taken place from the 16th September to weaken her structure to help her collapse under controlled conditions. The original plan was to bring her down on Tuesday 8th October but the demolition was postponed due to the strengthening winds. The demolition was rescheduled for 24 hours later.
23 hours later, and the demolition was confirmed for midday, final preparations were taking place.
At the same time, 12 miles out in the North Sea, the Monte Cervantes was boarding a pilot at the Sunk Pilot Station inbound for Felixstowe Berth 5. The pilot was a bit concerned of the demolition as there was a 150 metre exclusion zone in force and didn't want to be in the harbour when it was collapsing. The pilot still proceeded in at normal speed but kept in constant contact with Harwich VTS for updates.
Midday came and went, and no demolition. There was still a cherry picker alongside with a person doing some hot works. As the cherry picker began their descent to the ground. VTS confirms that there was a 15-20 minute delay but it was still going ahead.
The lines connected to the crane began to tension and within 30 seconds she creaked and collapsed to the ground with a crash. The boom stood up in as like it was a failer attempt bit after a few second, it began to fold in to a neat pile on the quay. The sound echoed across the harbour a few moments later.
The twisted metal is due to be cut up and recycled.
Harwich Harbour Ferry's Defeat and retreat 21st July 2017
Harwich Harbour Ferry retreats to the safety after making a very bumpy voyage.
The harbour Ferry is a converted lifeboat off the ex P&O cruise ship Canberra built in 1969
As she was heading for Felixstowe the second time she caught the tide and began to rock around and waves washed over the ferry causing the skipper to make a hasty retreat for safety in the River Stour.
For a few hours the Ferry kept in the Stour backwards and forwards to Shotley and Harwich. The wind dropped a bit which was a help to the skipper so he decided to make another trip over to Felixstowe. It was still bumpy but not as bad as before

Felixstowe is an Edwardian seaside town and civil parish between the River Orwell and River Deben on the North Sea coast of Suffolk, England. Felixstowe includes the Port of Felixstowe, which is the largest container port in the United Kingdom.
The nearby small town of Walton is often viewed as an extension of Felixstowe as the two towns are virtually side by side, though Walton was the original village. The quieter area nearer to the Deben River is often referred to as Old Felixstowe, although there is no formal classification of Old Felixstowe.
Landguard Fort, originally known as Langer Fort, is on the site of the last opposed invasion of England in 1667, and the first land battle of the Duke of York and of Albany's (later James II & VII) Marines. The current fort was built in the 18th century, and modified in the 19th century with substantial additional 19th/20th century outside batteries. The Fort hosts regular military re-enactments, including Darell's Day, which is a celebration of the last invasion, children's events and open-air theatre. Landguard Fort is in the care of English Heritage, and is managed by the Landguard Fort Trust to make it accessible to the public.
A museum telling the story of Felixstowe, with a reference library, historic maps, photo archive and 14 rooms of artefacts from Roman finds, the Martello towers, military social and domestic history through two world wars and into the new millennium is managed by volunteers from the Felixstowe History and Museum Society. It is located in the old submarine mining establishment building at the Landguard Peninsula, between the Fort and Port.
The sole remaining railway station, called Felixstowe Town, was opened in 1898. in the well-preserved building which now houses a supermarket and shops. Felixstowe Radio, the local community radio station that was formerly based in the building, has now moved to the old Coes building at the top of Bent Hill.
Felixstowe railway station is the terminus of the Felixstowe Branch Line passenger service to Ipswich; the line itself branches before the station, the other branch going on to the Port of Felixstowe. The Harwich Harbour Ferry operates between the View Point (near Landguard Fort) in Felixstowe and Ha'penny Pier, Harwich throughout the summer. The Bawdsey Ferry crosses the River Deben from Felixstowe Ferry.
Landguard Fort is a scheduled ancient monument and visitor attraction with a nearby nature reserve. At the opposite end of the town is Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club, which is amongst the oldest in the UK, having been established in 1881. Felixstowe has a recently refurbished sandy beach south from the pier, and a stoney beach north of the pier.
Cobbolds Point takes its name from the Cobbold brewery family who built Cranmer House on Maybush Lane in 1885. The architect Thomas W Cotman (1847-1925) designed many of the most famous buildings in Felixstowe including the Railway Station, Harvest House (Felix Hotel), the Orwell and Bath Hotels, Barclays and Lloyds Banks plus many others. The Art Deco style of architecture has been used for some buildings. The Cavendish Hotel in Sea Road, demolished in 1988, was in this style. From Brackenberry Fort to Felixstowe Ferry there is a walkway and is the start of the 50-mile Suffolk Coast Path.
