The Steamboating Forum

The Steamship Shieldhall is the largest working steamship in Britain. A member of the National Historic Fleet she serves as a sea going tribute to Britain's maritime heritage. This documentary gives you a behind the scenes look at preparing the ship for sailing and a look at the non-public areas of the ship. Built by Lobnitz & Co. of Renfrew on the River Clyde in 1955, the Shieldhall was one of the last reciprocating steamships in the world, running until 1985. Based in Southampton, she operates a number of sailings each year. To book trips and find more information visit ss-shieldhall.co.uk
