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.
