PSS Wingfield Castle

The PSS (Paddle Ship Steamer) Wingfield Castle, and her sister ship the Tattershall Castle was delivered to the London & North Eastern Railway (which later became the British Transport Commission) and was used as a ferry on the River Humber between Hull and New Holland. During the second world war, both acted as waterborne winch platforms for barrage balloons. The Wingfield Castle, which was built by the yards of Sir William Gray in the town, was restored during the 1970's and had several owners before further restoration in her original building berth in Hartlepool.

The Wingfield Castle is now berthed in the Jackson Dock, in Hartlepool Marina and is open daily for visitors.
