As I worked for Davis's and Harveys boats in Poole I knew Ferry Nymph well she was the largest of Harvey's yellow boats in the early 1960s. She was definitely the fastest of all the boats on the Poole to Sandbanks and Shell Bay run but I believe she had a 4 cylinder Lister Freedom diesel not a three. I crewed her on occasions when we swapped about as well as driving her on a rare 2 runs, we didn't swap Skippers much and it must have been as a favour to get someone off home early. The 2 skippers I remember well were Arthur and George Cole who guarded the privilege of driving her very closely. I am sure she was sold in 1964/5 when Harveys bought a much larger cabined boat called Northern Angler. The rest of the fleet were Ferry Niaid, Ferry Sprite, Ferry Neried and another that I cannot remember. Chris Harnett
