Life in Fife Preview - The Last of the Forth Ferry Boat Captains

Life in Fife is an online archive and podcast documenting Fife and all its people, from ex-miners to artists and everything in between. In this special preview episode, I speak with Stephen who once captained the ferry boats that crossed the Firth of Forth before the Forth Road Bridge was built. We discuss the types of boats used to ferry the cars across the Forth, the way they work, stories from his time on the boats, a royal visit and the opening of the Forth Road Bridge. The Life In Fife website is coming soon where you will be able to explore the archive of full-length interviews as well as add your own stories through the blog.
