Another blow for the
British Merchant Navy:
Another Nail in Davy Jones Locker for the British Merchant Navy.
This week another nail was hammered into Davy Jones Locker as it slowly sinks to the bottom of the sea for the British Merchant Navy.
P&O established ferry services in the late 1960s in the North Sea and English channel. Following a bumpy time in the late ’70s and early ’80s, P&O Ferries sold its cross channel services to European Ferries. In the next couple of years, P&O acquired shares in European Financial Holdings Ltd, which held 20.8% of shares in European Ferries, by 1987 they purchased the remaining shares in European Ferries that at the time were trading as Townsend Thoresen. Following the terrible disaster of the Herald of Free Enterprise, Townsend Thorsen was renamed P&O European Ferries in Oct 1987.
