Mona's Isle (3)

Mona's Queen (2)

 

 

 

This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company (IOMSPCo) paddle steamers Mona's Isle (3) and Mona's Queen (2).

 

A.W.Moore wrote in 1904:- "The Company then returned to paddles, and made a notable advance by placing the very fine steamer, Mona's Isle (3), on the station. She was followed by the equally fine steamer, Mona's Queen (2). Not only were these vessels some three-quarters of an hour faster than any of their predecessors - the Mona's Isle (3) accomplished the passage between Liverpool and Douglas in three hours and thirty-five minutes - but they were much larger, and had more luxurious accommodation for passengers. In this last respect, indeed, they have not been surpassed by any of their successors".
