The St Helena, formerly known as the Royal Mail Ship St Helena, was spotted arriving into Portland Port by Paul Dallaway this afternoon. The 6,767-tonne cargo and passenger vessel was once the sole source of supply of all goods for St Helena - a small island found 1,500 miles north west of Cape Town. It was also one of the last working Royal Mail ships in the world. The vessel made made regular trips between St Helena and the UK from 1977 until it took its last voyage from Portland Port in 2011. The 1,800 tonnes cargo ship left Dorset to make more regu- lar trips between Cape Town, Ascension Island and St Helena to improve access to the island. However, St Helena’s long awaited airport was opened in 2016 and the ship was subsequently sold.
