The "Shieldhall" is a Heritage ship included in the National Historic Ships Core Collection and is generally recognised to be the largest working steamship of her type in Britain and probably Europe.

You can hire the whole ship or join us for an excursion. You can relax in one of the quietest, smoothest ships on the sea. Try one of Ann's two-course meals for less than £10. You may see cruise ships as they set off from Southampton. You can visit the engine room and bridge. Smell the steam or the polish or both! Or, if you don't want to go sailing, you can still hire the ship for parties, weddings or meetings alongside the berth in Southampton.
