PS Kingswear Castle, Coal-fired paddle steamer in Dartmouth, Great Britain
The Kingswear Castle paddle steamer measures 90 feet in length and operates regular excursions along the River Dart from its base in Dartmouth.
Built in 1924 by Philip & Sons of Dartmouth, this vessel transported passengers between Totnes and Dartmouth until 1965, incorporating engines from its 1904 predecessor.
The Paddle Steamer Preservation Society purchased the vessel in 1967, initiating a restoration project that represents British maritime engineering excellence.
From June to September, visitors can board the steamer at Dartmouth Harbour for river cruises, with combined steam train and boat tickets available.
The Kingswear Castle remains the last coal-fired paddle steamer in the United Kingdom, maintaining its original steam propulsion system from 1904.
