Description

Approaching Studland on the Poole Harbour Ferry

Officially called the Sandbanks Ferry, but more popularly known as the Poole Harbour Ferry, this is one of the few remaining Chain Ferries still in service in Britain. The chain is laid along the seabed from Sandbanks to Studland and is looped over a powered cog in the bottom of the boat, leaving lots of slack so that the entrance to Poole harbour is not blocked to other boats and ferries.
