As it was: Felixstowe Port & Harbour 2008



It's quite surprising how much the port has changed in 8 years. Everything's bigger, the ships, the ship to shore cranes and the new berths at Landguard. Some things are still familiar, but there are some views on these stills taken on a trip round the harbour on the Brightlingsea in May 2008 that are gone forever. There's the old car ferry ramps, the dock basin entrance, and the oil terminal. Also in this video are some shots of the old Landguard Terminal with ships loading and unloading, now stripped of cranes and languishing in disuse whilst it silts up. Trinity Terminal looks much the same but people who know the docks will see minor changes such as replacement of cranes.
