Seaspeed SR-N6 Solent hovercraft services

Seaspeed operated two routes using SR-N6's - Cowes to Southampton and Cowes to Portsmouth Harbour. The terminals at Cowes and Southampton were on land while the Portsmouth harbour terminal was a pontoon alongside the IW ferry terminal at the end of the station.

The Cowes/Portsmouth service operated from April 1967 until September 1969.
