HistorySpirit of Gosport was built in 2001 to replace Portsmouth Queen on ferry duties. However, the company also wanted to replace Solent Enterprise, which operated cruise duties. The vessel was hardly used for the first few months and both existing ferries were kept in service. In 2003, she finally replaced Solent Enterprise on cruise duties. This continued until 2005, when a brand new vessel was purchased to replace Spirit of Gosport on cruise duties.{{citation needed|date=November 2017}} Shortly after being awarded the contract for Spirit of Gosport, Abels were awarded a follow-on contract for a second ferry, to be known as Spirit of Portsmouth. However this vessel was only partially constructed when the ferry company cancelled the order, and the unfinished hull remained at Abel's shipyard for many years, before being completed as a medical missionary ship, the Forth Hope. This ship should not be confused with the subsequent Spirit of Portsmouth that now operates alongside the Spirit of Gosport.[2][3] CharacteristicsThe Spirit of Gosport is {{convert|32.60|m}} in length and has a beam of {{convert|10.20|m}} and a draught of {{convert|1.9|m}}. She has a service speed of {{convert|10|knots}} and a capacity of 300 passengers and 3 crew.[4] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.maritimejournal.com/news101/vessel-build-and-maintenance/ship-and-boatbuilding/vt_halmatic_steels_itself_for_success |work=Maritime Journal |title=VT Halmatic Steels Itself for Success |date=1 November 2004 |accessdate=4 December 2007}}{{dead link|date=October 2017}} 2. ^{{cite news |title=New Missionary Ship |work=Ships Monthly |issue=December 2017 |volume=52 |page=9}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.scotsman.com/regions/edinburgh-fife-lothians/harbour-ferry-sails-from-rosyth-to-bring-health-to-amazon-1-4514871 |title=Harbour ferry sails from Rosyth to bring health to Amazon |first=Alastair |last=Dalton |work=The Scotsman |date=27 July 2017 |accessdate=30 October 2017 |archivedate=1 November 2017 |deadurl=no |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171101111616/http://www.scotsman.com/regions/edinburgh-fife-lothians/harbour-ferry-sails-from-rosyth-to-bring-health-to-amazon-1-4514871}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.gosportferry.co.uk/about-us/spirit-of-gosport-2001 |title=Spirit of Gosport (2001) |publisher=Gosport Ferry Company Ltd |accessdate=30 October 2017 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171101125954/http://www.gosportferry.co.uk/about-us/spirit-of-gosport-2001 |archivedate=1 November 2017 |deadurl=no}} External links
