 This rear-loading ferry was the world's first roll on, roll off cargo ferry, built by Wm. Denny of Dunbarton, Scotland for the Atlantic Steam Navigation Co. as part of their program to replace their original fleet of LSTs.  Bardic Ferry was launched in 1957 for service between Larne, Ireland and Preston, UK. It served till 1976 when it was sold to an Italian company and scrapped in 1983.
