The M/F Ostend Spirit, also known as the MS Pride of Calais was a cross-channel ferry owned and operated by P&O Ferries. She operated the Dover - Calais route between 1987 and 2012., was a ferry that spent most of its working life going back and forth across the English Channel., it was sent to be broken up for scrap and recycling at the ship breaking yard in Turkey in Aliaga
