Two P&A Campbell handbills for St Trillo (2).
On the left is an early season from Liverpool to Llandudno for 1966.
On the right is an excursion from Llandudno to see the Swedish America Line Kungsholm in 1969.
St Trillo (2) acted as a tender for Kungsholm on a number of occasions. There is also this text block: "The full steamer service between Llandudno Pier and Menai Bridge etc will commence as soon as repairs to the Llandudno Pier landing stages are completed". St Trillo (2) was withdrawn at the end of the 1969 season.
 
P&A Campbell continued to use St Trillo (2) on handbills after her withdrawal in 1969.
This is the header of a 1975 P&A Campbell handbill.
