Ben Woollacott (ship)
Ben Woollacott is the name of a ship built by Remontowa to serve as part of the Woolwich Ferry service. The ship is named after a teenage deckhand who drowned in an accident while untying mooring ropes in 2011. Ben came from a family of Thames watermen that had worked on the river for six generations.
The new ferry arrived in London on 15 November 2018. It has an automatic docking system to hold the ferry in place during loading.
