Once known as the Ryde Queen. In service at the beginning as a ferry between Southampton and Cowes in the UK. I believe she even saw service at Dunkirk in WWII. She ended up being a floating disco/ nightclub on the Isle of Wight, at this very spot in the 1960s. A classic old paddle steamer now left to rot. I think she's too far gone for restoration now. An absolute shame. Ron.
