One of the Steam Packet Company‘s post war vessels is to be scrapped.   The s.s. Manxman, which had her last sailing in the early 80’s, is to be dismantled due to to the extent of damage after years of neglect.  Over £8 Million would be needed restore the boat.

There has been uproar from many people who were passangers travelling to and from the Isle of Man.  In the mid 80’s it was turned into a nightclub in preston docks, before ending up in Sunderland where it is now.
