The crews had to live on the north side of the Forth most being
from North Queensferry.
This was because the ferries were moored overnight at North Queensferry. The ferries
required 6 crew members so the first trip of the day had to start with 6 they could not
run with less then pick up additional crew at the South side.

The Captains were invited to an annual dinner at the Hawes Inn at South Queensferry, the invitations for
