The Steam Packet's new vessel Manannan has arrived safely in Douglas harbour.
The fastcraft Manannan arrived from Portsmouth a short time ago – three hours earlier than planned - with a few dozen members of the public capturing her arrival on camera.
With a capacity of more than 800 passengers, the former navy vessel has the ability to travel at up to 35 knots.
Steam Packet managing director Mark Woodward explained her schedule for the rest of the week.
