Catamaran & Hovercraft

Catamaran & Hovercraft
The hovercraft is on route from the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth and the catamaran is travelling in the opposite direction. Best viewed large!

This was taken just outside the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour, with the. town of Gosport in the background. The tower in the background is the old Royal Navy Submarine Escape Training Tower (SETT), which was used from 1954 to 2020. Training is now done elsewhere.

Leo W, Jean Paul Capdeville, Jean-luc Drouin, Mikus and 11 other people have particularly liked this photo

Interesting to see the meeting of these two fast vessels! The hovercraft with the two big turbines looks different to what I remember from the old cross channel hovercrafts. I cannot begin to inagine what Submarine Escape Training must be like- it's certainly not for me;-)
