P.S.Lincoln Castle Alexandra Dock Grimsby

 

Paddle Steamer Lincoln Castle For Sale
Until recently, the Clyde-built former Hull-new Holland ferry has been operating as a pub in the docks at Grimsby. She has been put up for sale for the very modest sum of GBP 20,000 although there will be a considerable cost in even getting her out of the dock she is in .
Her triple expansion steam engines are still in place although the boiler has long since been removed.
She would make an ideal pub or maritime museum at a suitable location and a return to revenue service, although likely to be expensive, would not be impossible, especially compared with the costs of restoring many other vessels.

Lincoln Castle has operated as a pub for last 20 years. Built in 1940. Her boilers are removed but all machinery is still intact and is now powered by electric motors just as an attraction to see how everything moved when she was built, paddles are not connected but remain intact. This is an historically interesting vessel but can also be a very viable business in the right location



Can you take her on in a suitable role?

Paddle Steamer Preservation Society have also set up a working party to examine options for her future
