Tattershall Castle

The PS Tattershall Castle is a floating pub and restaurant moored on the River Thames at Victoria Embankment. It served as a passenger ferry across the Humber estuary from 1934 to 1973, before being towed to London in 1976.

During the Second World War she found service as a tether for barrage balloons and to ferry troops and supplies along the River Humber to wherever they were required. Due to the heavy fogs often encountered on this river, she was fitted with radar becoming one of the first civilian ships to have this facility. After the war, with the nationalisation of the railways in 1948, she became part of British Rail’s Sealink service.
