  • oppose merge articles about institutions that later merge with other institutions, should, in my opinion, be kept distinct. Separate article makes clear the institutions have separate pasts. It prevents confusion. There is room for valuable info to be added to a separate article that wouldn't make sense in a merged article... Geo Swan 17:18, 23 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ferry Service to Kangaroo Island

[edit]

What about the ferry operator which connects Cape Jervis (Mainland Australia) to Penneshaw, Kangaroo Island? And, I believe, operations in New Zealand? (Where they send their ferries retired from Backstairs Passage) They have the same name, though I highly doubt any connection.

I'd just tack them onto this article, but I feel this isn't the best way to go about it. The Chairman 10:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like you need a separate article called Sealink (New Zealand) or similar, with a note at the start of the Sealink article directing readers to it (e.g. "For the New Zealand company, see here"). Emeraude 10:54, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Isle of Man Steam Packet

[edit]

Was this part of Sealink? It was taken over by Sea Containers for a while (1996-2003) as was the British side of Sealink (the former British Rail ferries), but surely IoMSP was owned by Sherwood outside the period that the Sealink brand was used (i.e. up to 1995). In absence of clarification, IoMSP should be removed. Emeraude 17:14, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The BR logo was not "inverted". It was used on both sides of the sealink ferry, one side normal, the other side reversed. It has been captured in SO many pictures. http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/BR8_Harwich.html#anchor1481876 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.69.246.61 (talk) 11:37, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I live in Ireland and have family in the UK, and have travelled over and back by ferry every year of my life, I think. There is no mention in this article of the Sealink logo I remember: two horizontal yellow lines on a blue ground. The upper line bulges upward. [1] [2] TRiG (talk) 12:52, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The discussion of livery and logo don't currently mention the logo I remember from my childhood, which can be seen in this photo. I believe this logo was in use both before and for a while after the merger with Stena Line. It consisted of a blue background with two yellow lines, the upper bent into a triangular loop, and I remember hearing somewhere that it was supposedly derived by rearranging the elements of the British Rail logo. - IMSoP (talk) 21:54, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
