Night Ferry
Adventures into the night with writer Dan Richards who invites us into the world of the overnight ferry from the Shetland Isles to Aberdeen.
The overnight ferry between Shetland and mainland Scotland is a lifeline service providing an essential link for people, freight and animals to the Northern Isles. Journeying through some of the roughest seas on the planet, these mighty ships are staffed by highly experienced crew who will do anything to make the crossings comfortable for passengers.
On a very wild afternoon in November 2022, Dan Richards boards the ferry in darkness in Lerwick, Shetland and braces himself for a night on the wild ocean, with interesting insights into the effects of motion sickness on the human mind and body.
