MANXMAN REMEMBERED

摘要

The famous passenger vessel Turbine Steam Ship (TSS) Manxman was launched from the Cammell Laird shipyard, Birkenhead on 8 February 1955. She was the final vessel in a class of six similar ships, the 'Six Sisters', ordered by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, and was the second of the Company's ships to carry the name. After a long and successful career on the Irish Sea, she was withdrawn from service in 1982. Following a failed preservation attempt, she was broken up at Sunderland in 2012, a tragic end to a fine ship.
