THE INLAND JOURNEY OF UP TOURISM FERRY (PNJ 821)
FROM GANGA SAGAR TO VARANASI
Introduction
The inland journey of the Ferry stated on 25 Dec 2020 when the ferry reached Ganga Sagar
after 33 grueling days at Sea, sailing 3192 km around the Indian Peninsula. The crew was
battered with choppy seas and difficult living conditions. But a sailor has nerves of steel and he
can fathom anything on the way to smile in his heart. This Ferry, which is meant for Inland
waterways, withstood the vagaries of the Sea; which is a tribute to every person from Goa
Shipyard Limited, the manufacturer of this Ferry and the Crew.
This e-book will take one through the life on the banks of the Ganges, as seen by the eyes of
this Ferry, PNJ 821, moving upstream.
