Qualifies as 'Ferry'?

still a good ship, I sailed in her 3 weeks ago Liverpool to Belfast, a smooth crossing of the Irish sea and a clear dawn approaching Belfast.

OK, eddyw, thank you, changed it. Didn't realise it carried normal passenger trade. I thought it was just freight and wagons, plus drivers.

You could be forgiven for thinking that, Mike since almost all the ship appears to be vehicle space; yet according to Stena she can carry 980 passengers including 480 in cabins!
