The Shieldhall Steamship, the largest working steamship in Britain, will be passing Hurst Castle on Sunday (30th July) as part of their cruise to the Needles. Be sure to look out for it and it's another great reason to visit Hurst Castle.
A member of the National Historic Fleet she serves as a sea going tribute to Britain’s maritime heritage.
Operated by a team of dedicated volunteers, you too can experience the golden age of steam by booking on an excursion or visiting her in Southampton.
Trips are described as: As part of your Shieldhall experience, see the impressive engine room with its original steam engines at work and the bridge, with its traditional instruments and gleaming brass work; admire the ship’s steam assisted steering gear (similar to that used on Titanic); talk to the Captain and our crew and listen to the commentary as you pass the sights of Southampton Water and the Solent.
