Brownsea Island Ferries

This page is devoted to photographs and postcards of Poole-based Brownsea Island Ferries, previously J.Harvey & Sons. The 2006 fleet consists of Maid of Poole, Maid of the Harbour (2), Maid of the Islands (2) and Maid of the Lakelands. Ferry services are operated from Poole to Brownsea Island and Sandbanks, plus cruises around the islands and to Wareham, etc.

The Harvey family have been operating boats at Poole since 1887. In the post war years they ran bright yellow open launches on the ferry services from Poole, Sandbanks and Brownsea Island. Even in 1985, the fleet was essentially still open boats, the fleet at this time being Maid of the Harbour (1), Maid of Brownsea, Maid of Sandbanks, Maid of Frome and Northern Angler.
