Duke of Cornwall - Rushen Castle

 

 

This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway twin screw steamer Duke of Cornwall, later the Rushen Castle of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company (IOMSPCo).

 

Duke of Cornwall was built by Vickers for the joint LYR/LNWR Fleetwood-Londonderry/Belfast services in 1898. She passed to the LMS in 1923, and was used mainly on Heysham-Douglas sailings. In 1928 the route was passed to the Isle of Man SP Co along with the Duke of Cornwall and Antrim, but not the third ship used on the route, the Duchess of Devonshire, which was sold foreign. Duke of Cornwall was renamed Rushen Castle and was scrapped in 1948.
