A Trip Round Bristol Harbour
You might find this a bit like watching paint dry but here is a trip I did aboard the Margaret, owned by the Bristol Ferry Boats, in June 2015 around the Floating Harbour. The gent crewing the boat is, I am told, the boss, ably assisted by his daughter.
Margaret was built in Appledore 1955.

UK's first Hydrogen Powered passenger boat trials in Bristol Harbour - City Council
Britain's first hydrogen-powered ferry to be trialed in Bristol - Return trips will cost £6 and single journeys will be £4 stopping at the ss Great Britain
A technical setback forced last weekend's planned launch of the £225,000 ferry, paid for by Bristol City Council, to be put back.
But a problem with a pressure valve has been rectified and the vessel is poised to take passengers on hourly voyages around Bristol Floating Harbour for the first time.
The launch will mark the end of two years of work on the project and the start of a six-month trial for the ferry, which produces no harmful emissions.
The boat, named Hydrogenesis, was designed by Keith Dunstan, director of Bristol Packet Boat Trips.
He said the boat, which is 11 metres long, will offer passengers a quieter, smoother journey. Water will be the only byproduct.
Mr Dunstan said: We are going to start our public services on Saturday and this time they should run. The faulty part has been replaced -- it was a little pressure valve. Trips will be starting from the steps between the Arnolfini and Prince Street Bridge. They will be 45-minute trips around the harbour, stopping at the ss Great Britain.
If the services during the trial are successful, hydrogen-powered vessels could become a permanent fixture in the city docks and will serve commuters and sightseers.
The ferry, which can carry 12 passengers and two crew, was commissioned by Bristol City Council in 2010.
It was designed and built by Bristol Hydrogen Boats, a local consortium formed by the directors of Bristol Packet Boat Trips, Number Seven Boat Trips and Auriga Energy.
It will be powered by a 12kW fuel cell via two West-produced, permanent-magnet DC motors. The hydrogen fuel and refuelling station for the ferry are being supplied by Air Products.
Mr Dunstan hopes to eventually generate fuel for the ferry using the power harnessed from the River Avon or the Bristol Channel.
Backers of the ferry project say there could be a big reduction in air and water pollution, in addition to reduced noise, in the harbour if the technology is adopted widely.
Return trips will cost £6 and single journeys will be £4. The trips on Saturday will depart at 11am, noon, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm.

Places to see in ( Torpoint - UK )
Places to see in ( Torpoint - UK )
Torpoint is a civil parish and town on the Rame Peninsula in southeast Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated opposite the city of Plymouth across the Hamoaze which is the tidal estuary of the River Tamar.
Torpoint is linked to Plymouth (and Devonport) by the Torpoint Ferry. The three vessels that operate the service are chain ferries – that is, they are propelled across the river by pulling themselves on fixed chains which lie across the bed of the river. The journey takes about seven minutes.
It is said that Torpoint's name is derived from Tar Point, a name given because of the initial industry on the west bank of the Hamoaze. However this is actually a nickname given by workers, Torpoint meaning rocky headland. Torpoint is an eighteenth-century planned town. The grid-based design for the town was commissioned by Reginald Pole Carew in the Parish of Antony in 1774. His family continue to have a strong influence in the area, having become the Carew Poles in the twentieth century, and still reside at their family seat, Antony House.
In 1796 Torpoint was the setting for a shooting battle between the crew of a government vessel, the Viper, and a large party of armed liquor smugglers, in which one person was killed and five people seriously wounded. Torpoint has a Non-League football club Torpoint Athletic F.C. who play at The Mill.
( Torpoint - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Torpoint . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Torpoint - UK

SS Great Britain, A visit to Brunel's Great Ocean Liner 2012. Bristol, UK
SS Great Britain is a museum ship and former passenger steamship, advanced for her time. She was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the Great Western Steamship Company's transatlantic service between Bristol and New York. While other ships had previously been built of iron or equipped with a screw propeller, Great Britain was the first to combine these features in a large ocean-going ship. She was the first iron steamer to cross the Atlantic, which she did in 1845, in the time of 14 days.
When launched in 1843, Great Britain was by far the largest vessel afloat. However, her protracted construction and high cost had left her owners in a difficult financial position, and they were forced out of business in 1846 after the ship was stranded by a navigational error.
