Gregg any of the old Humber paddler steamers there ?About 1959 I went up to Hull to see Grandma with my Triumph Thunderbird and Bullet sporty type sidecar . Crossed the Humber there and back from New Holland to Hull on the old Paddle Steamers.

Amazing memory enjoyed every moment. As the paddles swished away.

Uncle, Laurie Johnson, Lord Mayor one year with the title of and Admiral of the Humber was taken on an HMS Destroyer the length of the Humber to inspect his domain. No one was allowed not to know of this event.

Thanks for that Gregg. That is remarkable piece of film.

Who ever filmed and edited it must be an accomplished character in the film world. Part of my life was in filming and editing and that is very good indeed.

Amazing the engines for the size of the boat. The fact that they had am engineer control the engines way down in the engine room.

Brought back a lot of memories. I remember as a young man about 20 with my motor bike and sidecar driving on to the boat there. That would be about 1958.

Thanks again Gregg much appreciated.

Sorry to say that after Lincoln Castle was used as a club/restaurant, it was towed over to Grimsby to be dismantled.

One of the other Paddle Steamers was taken down south and restored, not sure where though.

the Tattershall Castle is on the Thames somewhere as a pub/resturant

the Wingfield Castle is a museum ship at Hartlepool Marina..............drive past it a couple of times a day....get you a pic if you want

[Guest]

Yes just looked it up Paul.

The Tattershall is on the Victoria Embankment.

Worse still I was on a Thames cruise ship which passed it not 6 weeks ago. The London Eye with other things is opposite and this took all my attention.

After saying that from the pictures on line it looks a different boat from the one I remember back in 1958.

Very nice if you could get a picture Paul.
