Douglas
Reid has kindly allowed me to share a series of wonderful
images taken by his father William in 1930. They PS Gondolier travelling through
the lock gates of the Caledonian Canal. Douglas has also allowed me to
share a colour image of PS Caledonia (II)
which he took
at Tignabruich Pier in the 1960's. I am grateful
to him.
A lovely
glass plate image of PS Crested Eagle embarking
passengers at Old Swan Pier circa 1927 is displayed by kind
permission of Brian Stephenson

PS Westward Ho

Gwalia, have

current owner Alf Lokkertsen.
I thought it was about time I added some more, so here we go. The first addition is of a turn of the 19th/20th Century Isle of Man Steam Packet souvenir tea towel, displayed by kind permission of Lennie Spitale. Next we have a couple of photos of PS Bristol Queen at Scilly in 1963. They are shown courtesy of Bert Jeffers, whose father served on the lighthouses and who remembers both the Bristol and Cardiff Queens passing Bull Point at Ilfracombe and sounding their whistles in the 1950's. A 1958 version of the White Funnel Handbook is displayed courtesy of Charlie Cooke from Manchester. My thanks go to them all.
