It's not often you see a cross-channel ferry steaming at full speed - onto the shore. That's the moment captured in this dramatic footage of the ship known for more than twenty years as the Pride of Calais.

Where do old ferries go on holiday? They go and get beached in Turkey! This is a famous old cross-channel ferry that clocked up millions of nautical miles going back and forth across the Channel for years.

In her heyday the ferry was called the Pride of Calais and ferried thousands of passengers to and from France for for 22 years. Then in 2012 it became the Spirit of Ostend running services from Ramsgate to the Belgium port.
