Bournemouth Belle
Dorset Belles - Dorset Cruises
This page is devoted to photographs and postcards of the
Bournemouth Belle
of
Dorset Cruises
.
In the mid-1970s the
Croson
fleet was getting old, and three new vessels were built by J.Bolson & Sons:
Dorset Belle
(1974 - 81 feet - 178 passengers),
Bournemouth Belle
(1975 - 86 feet - 228 passengers) and
Poole Belle (3)
(1977 - 93 feet - 250 passengers). Swanage pier was closed in 1983, and
Dorset Belle
was sold. She was re-acquired in 1997. These three vessels have maintained services since, until
Poole Belle (3)
was sold in 2006 for services on the Forth.
