Ferries and boats

Recording inside my cabin on the ferry between Hoek van Holland (NL) and Harwich (UK) during night. Some drones from the diesels. An announcement is made in English and Dutch prior to arrival. Notice that one of the cabin's speakers broke down, switching on and off during the announcement. Recorded using a Sony PCM-D50 recorder on the night of 20-21 June 2008.

Hold on a minute; if the ship was heading from Netherlands to the UK, why is she announcing tickets for the Duch railway network? Explain...

Great sample though!
