- This page is devoted to
postcards and photographs of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company
(IOMSPCo) turbine steamer Mona's Queen (4) of 1946. She
was one of six similar steamers delivered between 1946 and 1955.
-
- The British steamer Mona's
Queen was bought by Chandris in 1962, and reappeared the
following year as the Carina, carrying 220 passengers
and 60 cars. In 1964 she was rebuilt again as a full cruise ship
carrying 378 passengers, and was renamed Fiesta. The Mona's
Queen was one of six sister ships built by the Isle of Man
Steam Packet Company between 1946 and 1955. The last of the six
sisters, the Manxman of 1955 just about survives in a
run-down condition as a bar and club. Fiesta was laid
up in the mid-seventies, and was scrapped in 1981. I have not
yet found a postcard as Carina, but two variations on
a card of Fiesta are shown below.

- A Tuck
version (I.O.M.188) of the photo above with a white border. Lilywhite
also issued the card with the border. Their card is not shown
because it looks identical to this (with the same I.O.M.188 serial
number) but without the caption A Tuck Card in the bottom
right corner.
