Princess of Tasmania - Melbourne to Devonport 1960s 

Bass Strait Vehicle ferry Princess of Tasmania of the Australian National Line, arriving Webb Dock Melbourne and on board sailing to Devonport in the 1960s. Princess of Tasmania was owned and operated by the Australian National Line.
There were three return voyages over the 230 miles between Melbourne and Devonport each week.
At the time of introduction in 1959, it was reportedly the longest drive-on drive-off service in the world. Princess of Tasmania was built at the State Dockyard Newcastle, New South Wales and had a draught of 15 feet which allowed it to use the more direct shallow channel at the southern end of Port Phillip Bay to and from the heads, which saved considerable time and distance.
Princess of Tasmania remained in service on the Bass Strait run until sold in 1972.
