P.S. CARDIFF QUEEN, negative
Hansen, Leslie W.
(photographer)
The Cardiff Queen was one of two similar paddle steamers ordered by P. & A. Campbell after the Second World War. Built at Govan in 1947, this 765 gross ton vessel was a little smaller than her sister Bristol Queen, built at Bristol in 1946. In this 1962 view, the Cardiff Queen is seen getting under way from the landing stages at the Pierhead. Withdrawn from service in 1966, she was eventually cut up at Newport in 1968.
