Description: The General Cargo-Passenger Steamer SS Shieldhall was built in 1954 as a "Clyde sludge boat" by Lobnitz & Co. of Renfrew who also constructed the two triple expansion steam engines. The Shieldhall is now operated by the Solent Steam Packet Limited preservation society to run trips down the Solent from from Southampton. As seen in the photograph, passengers can go down into the engine room between the two steam engines. On the green engine casing to top left the tops of two of the three cylinders are visible.
