"Shieldhall" makes an ideal location for film makers to capture life at sea from the late 1800's through to the latter part of the 20th century.

As a steam ship, she offers a stable platform with close to zero vibration which reduce the problems of "camera shake" normally experienced on diesel engined ships.  The accompanying photographs show "Shieldhall" being used as a set for Paramount's film "Angela's Ashes" and Samba films docu-soap "Terra Nostra".
In both cases, the Producers searched extensively across the World for a vessel that could accommodate their needs and "Shieldhall" exceeded their expectations.

"Shieldhall" is licensed to carry a maximum of 150 passengers, although, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency have agreed to over 400 people being on board, with special conditions. "Shieldhall's" normal passenger operating area is within the sheltered waters of the Solent, however, she is able to visit any port in northern Europe without restriction. Areas outside of these limits would require special dispensation. Approximately 1 month should be allowed for any dispensations.

A result of "Shieldhall's" history is that there are wide open spaces above and below decks which enable the film producer to capture a wide range of material.
