Fritz Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 The "Falaise" made the crossings between Saint Malo and Southampton in the early 60s The famous painting by Frank Wootton Falaise, the aftermath The predecessor of the SS "Falaise" was, I believe, used in the Dunkirk evacuations and survived the war. The "Falaise", togehter with the "Brittany" were used in the postwar years as passenger ferries between Southampton and Saint Malo, travelled frequently in this during the early 60s. In the lounge was a large copy of the original painting of the "Falaise Gap" by Frank Wooton, now in possession of the Imperial War Museum. I still have vivid memories of the port of St. Malo, the "Falaise", the picture in the lounge and the general holiday atmosphere of the crossing and of the Bretagne.
