TSS Caledonian Princess
TSS ''Caledonian Princess'' was a turbine steamship, built in 1961 in Scotland. She was the first roll-on/roll-off car ferry on the Stranraer - Larne route. Under Sealink ownership, she operated in the English Channel and the Irish Sea. From 1984, she spent her later life as the ''Tuxedo Princess'', a floating nightclub on the River Tyne. She never saw service under her final name, ''Prince'', and was scrapped in 2008.
==History==
''Caledonian Princess'' was built for the Caledonian Steam Packet Company by William Denny and Brothers in Dumbarton on the River Clyde in Scotland.〔 She was launched on 5 April 1961 and completed by November 1961.〔
In 1968 the ship passed into the British Rail Sealink fleet, eventually receiving the large white letter ''Sealink'' branding across the full height of her hull.〔 ''Caledonian Princess'' was the first stern-loading car ferry to sail into Douglas, Isle of Man, when she visited on charter from Stranraer on 26 June 1968.〔 She was retired from service in 1981 and operated as a floating nightclub on the River Tyne until 2007.〔
In April 2008, it was reported the ship would undergo a £1.5m refit, for further life as a floating nightclub in Northern Ireland.〔 By the time she was being towed away from the Tyne, it was reported she was to see use as an entertainment venue in Piraeus, near Athens.〔
