Discover Cowes on the Isle of Wight 🏝️

A waterfront town with spectacular sea views, Cowes has long been known as the home of sailing. The principal event in the UK’s sailing calendar is Cowes Week, established in 1826, a weeklong event that sees thousands of yachts compete on the Solent each year.⛡️

For those who prefer to keep both feet firmly on dry land, Cowes offers a buzzy atmosphere and spectacular foodie scene. Walking down the charming pedestrianised high street strung with bunting and lights, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to places to dine out, day and night.

Today, on the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, we pause to remember the courage, sacrifice and service of the allied forces who took part in one of the most significant operations of the Second World War.

On 6 June 1944, thousands of allied troops crossed the English Channel as part of Operation Overlord, beginning the liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe. The Solent and Isle of Wight played an important role in preparations for the landings, serving as a key staging area for the vast fleet assembled along the south coast.🌊

Several vessels from Red Funnel's former fleet also contributed to the war effort and the D-Day landings, including:

βš“οΈ TSS Calshot (I)
βš“οΈ PS Lorna Doone (II)
βš“οΈ PS Solent Queen (II)
βš“οΈ MV Norris Castle (II)
