Largs Pier
An image of 'Southsea's sister ship 'Shanklin' renamed as 'Prince Ivanhoe'. She is approaching Largs in the early summer of 1981. Purchased from Sealink by a company connected to the Waverley operation and operated by Waverley Excursions she was brought to Glasgow on the 21st of November 1980, refurbished and renamed for April 1981. 1981 was her only season, for on 3rd August while under the command of a relief master, she grounded in Port Eynon Bay in the Bristol Channel and became a total loss. All passengers were safely evacuated. By a year later she was a pile of unrecognisable scrap steel.
