Summary edit

Description Built at Harland & Wolff, Belfast and completed in 1956 for British Railways to operate as both a passenger ferry (primarily on the Heysham-Belfast route) and as a cruise ship. Converted to a car ferry in 1970 and used on the Heysham-Belfast route until the service was withdrawn on 5 April 1975. Then briefly employed on the Fishguard-Rosslare crossing, before becoming the regular relief vessel on the Holyhead–Dún Laoghaire service until November 1978. Sold in 1979 and moved to Mostyn as a "Fun Ship". It closed in 2004.
