St Christopher Special with Simon Groom and Tina Heath
More than 20,000 viewers entered the competition to design a mural for the new cross-channel ferry, the St Christopher. Blue Peter followed the progress of the building of this 4,000-ton vessel at Harland and Wolff's Belfast ship-yard, the dramatic launch and the inaugural sailing from Dover to Calais when the top prize-winning mural was finally unveiled.
