Yeah, still there. Last I saw, there was someone trying to organise something to get her salvaged and fixed up, but not sure how that is going. She was called PS Ryde.See http://www.psryde.co.uk/history/ for more details.

Yes the Ryde Queen, such a shame, had many a good night on there when it was used as a club.

Vessel built by William Denny & Bros at Dumbarton, Scotland, See: http://www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id=16

for more details, launch picture and picture here in 1982.

Vessel is now so badly deteriorated that restoration would not be viable. May be scope to save some parts
