Notes

Withdrawn from service in 1978 due to boiler defects, she was the last of the steam paddle ferries and was replaced by FARRINGFORD. Sold in 1979 and from 1980 became a shore-side restaurant at Hessle on the Humber, moving to Grimsby in 1987 but closed from 2006 due to her deteriorated condition, and was broken up there during October 2010.
