My old man used to work on the ferries in the 70s and 80s for the other firm sealink out of Dover. Remember him saying ferries quite often used to leave with the bow doors open if they were trying to make up time.
Terrible what happened

Seems even more idiotic that that single crew member didn't do it!
First time I've ever heard about this. What an absolute tragedy.

A boy at my school lost close family members, I later met a girl who lost two brothers. It seems idiotic now to leave such an important safety feature, closing the fucking ships doors, down to a single crew member.

I remember the girl at Hall Mead going Eddie.
It's just heartbreaking to read the repetition of surnames when families lost multiple members, especially this one
Sharon Horton, 28, of Essex. Passenger.
Rebecca Horton, 23 days, of Essex. Passenger.
How that mum must have scrapped to save her baby. Fucking awful to think about.

One of my good mates at the time lost his mum and sister on it. His dad died a year later he survived it.
