The Thekla
''Thekla'' is a cargo ship moored in the Mud Dock area of Bristol's Floating Harbour, England. The ship was originally built in Germany in the 1950s and was used to transport timber.
In 1982 the ship was bought by Ki Longfellow-Stanshall, the wife of Vivian Stanshall refitted, and brought to Bristol as the Old Profanity Showboat. It was used as a theatre to showcase music of every sort, including cabaret, comedy, plays, musicals, and poetry events. The ship also contained an art gallery. The living quarters were home for Vivian, Ki, their daughter, Silky Longfellow-Stanshall, and Ki's daughter, Sydney Longfellow, as well as a few key personnel. During the 1990s, under new management, it was run as a rent-a-nightclub. The ship has now been returned to its original working name of ''Thekla'' and is run as a night club and venue for various bands by Daybrook House Promotions.
==Construction and working life==
''Thekla'' was built in Germany in 1959. One of the last riveted ships to be produced , she was 650 tons unladen, measured one hundred and eighty feet long from stem to stern, and thirty feet wide, with an eight-foot draft. ''Thekla''s hold was lined with one of the hardest woods in the world, red jarrah from Australia. She is a "Coaster" ship and powered by a U-boat engine left over from the Second World War. ''Thekla'' was used for more than twenty years to transport timber to and from ports of the Baltic Sea. After running aground at Gravesend in Kent she was left rusting away for seven years in the half-abandoned docks of Sunderland on the eastern coast of England, before being purchased by the Stanshalls.
