"Kingswear Castle" at Dartmouth
" Kingswear Castle" is the only coal fired paddle steamer still working in Britain. She was built in 1924 for the Dartmouth Steam Packet Company, was loaned to the US Navy during WW2 as a harbour tender and then spent some time on the River Medway in Kent before returning to the Dart in 2012.
