On tour with the Trinity House flagship THV PARTICIA

Patricia is the flagship of the Trinity House fleet. Her normal duties involve maintenance of navigational buoys, attendance and refuelling of offshore lighthouses and dealing with emergencies, including wrecks. Passengers, whether individual fare paying customers or corporate groups, will be able to enjoy the unique opportunity to join Patricia during one of her routine tours of duty. Whilst Harwich on the East Coast is her base port she calls regularly into other ports and harbours. Depending on the time of year passengers will be able to view the coastline with its diverse flora and fauna, from a position previously only available to a small group of people. Patricia has high quality accommodation for up to twelve people in six double-bedded cabins. The cabins offer both a refuge from the pressures of the workplace and an opportunity for quiet reflection. Each is individually designed with en suite bathrooms. The cabins also have tea/coffee making facilities, satellite television, computer / e-mail links and trouser presses.
