PS Tattershall Castle

PS Tattershall Castle

The PS "Tattershall Castle" is now moored on the River Thames at the Embankment, and is used as a floating pub and restaurant. It was recently refitted at a cost of several million pounds.

The steamer was built in 1934 as a passenger ferry on the River Humber between Kingston upon Hull and New Holland. It found service as a tether for barrage balloons during the Second World War. In 1981 , after long service as a passenger and goods ferry, the ship was towed to London. The opening of the Humber Bridge made the ferry service, known to have existed since at least Roman times Fact|date=January 2008, redundant.

A sister ship also launched in 1934, the PS "Wingfield Castle", is preserved at Hartlepool's Maritime Experience. A third similar Humber ferry, the PS "Lincoln Castle", built in 1940, is moored in Alexandra Dock, Grimsby, where it also serves as a floating pub and restaurant.
