This
Simplon Postcards
page is one of a series devoted to the
River Thames
excursion boats of
City Cruises
- it is not connected with the boat operator. This page shows the ex-Portsmouth ferry
Vita
Vita
was originally in service on the
Portsmouth-Gostport
ferry. She was the last of the traditional ferries delivered, albeit diesel-powered from the start. She was kept as a spare boat on for seasonal harbour cruises until 1974 after the arrival of the modern
Portsmouth Queen
and
Gosport Queen
in 1966. She was bought by
Woods Cruises
for use on the Thames, passing to
City Cruises
c.1999, with whom she remains in 2008.
