ARETURN delivery trip to the Isle of Wight in one day by goods vehicles of up to 20 tons capacity is expected to be possible from next April when the new ferry boat, Osborne Castle, named last week at the Southampton yard of John I. Thornycroft and Co., Ltd., comes into service. Its speed is 14 knots and its vehicle-carrying capacity is up to 50 per cent. greater than the existing ferries, depending on the number
of passengers carried. It will operate between Southampton and Cowes.
