Built in 1992 the catamaran ferry Great Expectations started her working life on the Gravesend to Tilbury route on the river Thames. After transferring to Southampton in 1995 she has served to the present day on the Hythe Village to Southampton crossing having been refitted and renamed as Hythe Scene in 2017. This image of her as Great Expectations was captured from Southampton's Town Quay in October 2008.
