T.S. Queen Mary - After External Painting

T.S. Queen Mary, the former Clyde Turbine Steamer was built in 1933 by Messer's Denny of Dumbarton, Scotland. The 252 ft steamer operated day excursions in the Firth of Clyde until 1977. Queen Mary was the largest and the last vessel built to operate "all the way excursion sailings" from the heart Glasgow. Her passenger complement of 2086 (when built) made her the Firth’s largest carrier, and she had the largest gross tonnage (870 originally) of any on the river. Her usual service was from Glasgow departing Bridge Wharf (adjacent to Jamaica Street Bridge) to Dunoon and Rothesay, with non-landing excursions to Arran and Skipness. On Saturdays she sailed for Dunoon, Rothesay and the Kyles of Bute. TS Queen Mary's last public sailing was an evening showboat excursion from Largs and Rothesay, through the Kyles of Bute, on Monday 12th September 1977. The ship then was laid up in the East India Harbour Greenock from 1977 until 1981. In 1987, brewers Bass Charrington acquired the ship to replace the former Clyde Steamer PS Caledonia, which it had successfully operated as a restaurant and bar on the Thames. TS Queen Mary was extensively refitted for this role, and closed for business in January 2009 when Westminster Council would not renew the lease for her berth, preferring instead to develop the area for water bus services. The ship was sold to a French consortium that had plans to convert her for use as a floating hotel, in La Rochelle. The ship was towed from London to Tilbury, in November 2009. The plans fell through and the ship was sold again in September 2011 to a private buyer, Ranjan Chowdhury.

TS Queen Mary was arrested by the Port of Tilbury, in July 2015, due to non-payment of berthing dues. Friends of TS Queen Mary tendered a bid for the ship, and was announced as the preferred bidder in August 2015. On 18th August 2015, TS Queen Mary was visited by representatives from Ferguson Marine, V Ships and the MCA, and was extensively examined. The ship was found to be in remarkably good condition, and Friends of TS Queen Mary were then able to complete a bill of sale, taking the ship into the hands of a dedicated Charity for the first time in her life.
Queen Mary after refurbishment will become one of Glasgow’s most unusual dining, wedding, corporate function, concert and arts venues. Seen at James Watt Dock, Greenock on 30th October 2016 - after her upgraded painting. See the before here:
