Solent Queen (1)

 

Southampton, Isle of Wight & South of England Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. Ltd.

 

 

This page devoted to postcards and photographs of the Southampton, Isle of Wight & South of England Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. Ltd. (later marketed as Red Funnel Steamers) paddles steamer Solent Queen (1).

 

Solent Queen (1) was the last iron paddle steamer built for the Southampton Company, entering service in 1889. She caught fire in 1893, and was out of service for three months. Solent Queen (1) was based in Southampton for most of her career, remaining on ferry services, although she did attend the Dunkirk beaches. Unfortunately, after waiting at La Panne for some time, she was unable to find any troops, so returned empty. Solent Queen (1) was withdrawn and scrapped in 1948, after boiler failure.
