The Newhaven to Dieppe steamer Worthing was built for the Southern Railway by Denny Dumbarton in 1928
2,343 gross tons, 300 foot x 39 foot with a service speed of 24 knots
She served as a hospital ship in WWII
The first vessel on which I crossed the Channel in 1952 she confirmed the passion for ships that has stayed with me for life
