Steamship Shieldhall Fathers Day Cruise - All things steam cruise to the Solent

About

Steam down Southampton Water to the Solent, passing Cunard's Queen Victoria in berth, always the chance to sound the whistle and play the 'Shieldhall Organ'!

Southampton has a long tradition with steamships, the first of which, The Prince of Cobourg, commenced service in 1820. Today Steamship Shieldhall helps keep alive this tradition in Southampton. There will be some steam engines displayed alongside Shieldhall to view prior to boarding, and lots of auxillary steam engines to locate and view on board, where Shieldhall's volunteer crew will be delighted to explain their operation.
As part of your cruise, see the impressive engine room with its original steam engines at work and the bridge, with its traditional instruments and gleaming brasswork; admire the ship's steam assisted steering gear (similar to that used on Titanic); talk to the Captain and volunteer crew; listen to an informed commentary on the sights and sounds of Southampton Water and the Solent; pass close to the great ocean liners and container ships; walk the teak decks; relax in the Saloon with a wide range of refreshments including tea / coffee; real ale; a range of Titanic bottled beers; wine and hot and cold food, available on all trips. Courtesy parking available close to berth.

Children will have fun with an interactive Shieldhall Log Book, collecting stickers from various stations on board!

Adults £42, Children £15, Family bundle (2A, 2C) £99.
