MV ''Caedmon'' was an Isle of Wight 'C' class ro-ro vehicle and passenger ferry. She operated for ten years on the Portsmouth to Fishbourne route before transferring to Wightlink's route from Lymington to Yarmouth. After 37 years of service, she was broken up in 2010. ==History== MV ''Caedmon'' was built in 1973 for Sealink by Robb Caledon Shipbuilders Ltd in Dundee, Scotland. The ship was named 'Caedmon' after the Anglo-Saxon poet Cædmon. ''Caedmon'' served on the Portsmouth to Fishbourne route for the first ten years of her life. For several weeks in 1979, she operated as a single-ended vessel after her prow was washed away during a storm. When the ''Saint''-class ships were put into service in 1983, ''Caedmon'' joined her sister ships, and , on the Lymington - Yarmouth route.〔 All three passed to Wightlink after the privatisation of Sealink in 1984. In 2008-09, on the introduction of three new Wight class ferries on the Lymington to Yarmouth route, the three 'C' class ships were withdrawn from service. They were sold for scrapping and initially laid up at Marchwood,(), before being towed to Esbjerg, in Denmark.
