PS Tattershall Castle (1934)

The ex-steamer Tattershall Castle is now a pub and restaurant moored on the Thames at the Embankment in London, UK. Built in 1934, the ship was operated by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) as a passenger ferry across the Humber estuary in northern England, servicing the cities of Kingston upon Hull in Yorkshire and New Holland, Lincolnshire. 

During the Second World War, Tattershall Castle was used as a tether for anti-aircraft barrage balloons and as a ferry for troops and supplies along the Humber River. Post-war, Tattershall Castle joined the nationalised British Rail's Sealink service in 1948 and served until she was retired in 1973 and towed to London in 1976. Tattershall Castle was used as an art gallery on the Thames before being converted to a restaurant in 1982.
