PS Wingfield Castle, Museum ship in Hartlepool, England.

The PS Wingfield Castle features a triple expansion steam engine, measuring 209 feet in length with paddle wheels on both sides of the vessel.

Built in 1934 by William Gray & Company, this paddle steamer operated as a ferry between Hull and New Holland until its retirement in 1974.

The vessel served during World War II by transporting troops and supplies along the Humber River, contributing to military operations in England.

Visitors can explore multiple decks of the restored paddle steamer, which includes exhibits about maritime history and transportation technology.

During its service years, the vessel transported both passengers and livestock, with documented incidents of cows falling into crew quarters.
