Alicia Andrews, executive director for the line, commented: ?Condor Ferries was founded in the Channel Islands more than 50 years ago; we are proud to have kept our Islands connected and supplied for so many years and to have deep roots with both the Guernsey and Jersey. The legacy of the occupation is still very evident throughout the Islands today with numerous historic installations in both Islands that you can visit.
?We?re proud that we have been able to mark this important anniversary in a small way with the name of our new ship and we hope to welcome many passengers onboard this summer who want to find out more about these Islands.?
