One of Bristol's iconic yellow ferry boats has returned to work in the harbour after years out of action. Almost 100 years old, Ferryboat Emily had been out of action since the start of the pandemic, but she has just undergone a major revamp.
Emily is described as one of the city’s oldest and most charming boats in the harbour in her bright yellow and blue colours of Bristol Ferry Boats, and is back on the water after her refurbishment. Bristol Ferry Boats operational manager, Carrie Browne, said: “It’s been fantastic to give a new lease of life to one of our oldest and most popular boats.
"We have replaced her engine, given her a fresh coat of paint, replaced areas of wood and fitted new glass into her windows. We’ve also installed a new, more efficient propeller and given her a full deep clean ready for the new season.
