Steamship Shieldhall

SS Shieldhall is a heritage cargo / passenger steamship included in the National Historic Fleet, based in Southampton and operated by a team of dedicated volunteers.
Launched on the Clyde in 1955, and celebrating her 70th anniversary in 2025, she was built on classic lines and retains her original machinery and traditional wheelhouse. Withdrawal from commercial service in 1985, she was purchased by charity The Solent Steam Packet Ltd which continues to operate Shieldhall today.
It’s access all areas on board Shieldhall! As part of your cruise, guests are welcome to visit the Engine Room, Boiler Room and Bridge, to admire the steam engines and original instrumentation. There's free parking close to the ship, and hot and cold food available. TripAdvisor's 'No 1 Thing to Do' in Southampton!
