Frith postcard KTD56 of Fleetwood-Knott End ferry Caldervale at Knott End, with IOMSPCo's Manxman at the Railway Pier.
The publisher seemed to think that it lacked sufficient interest, so they added a half-sized image of the St Tudno - which is about to run aground on the end of the Knott End jetty!
LNWSSCo steamer St Seiriol was chartered by the IOMSPCo, but I am not aware of her visiting Fleetwood.
 
 
 
 
 
 
St Seiriol (2) (1931-62)
270ft long - 1586gt - Steam Turbine
 
St Seiriol (2) was built by Fairfields in 1931, as a smaller second ship to assist St Tudno (3), and operate Isle of Man excursions. In peak summers after the war, she was chartered to the IOMSPCo. St Seiriol (2) was sold for scrap in 1962.
