Click here for detailsSteamship Shieldhall is the largest working steamship in Britain. A member of the National Historic Fleet she serves as a sea going tribute to Britain’s maritime heritage. Operated by a team of dedicated volunteers, rightly proud of Shieldhall’s No 1 TripAdvisor ranking in Southampton, you too can experience the golden age of steam by booking on an excursion or visiting her in Southampton. As part of your Shieldhall experience, see the impressive engine room with its original steam engines at work and the bridge, with its traditional instruments and gleaming brasswork; admire the ship’s steam assisted steering gear (similar to that used on Titanic); talk to the Captain and our crew and listen to the commentary as we pass the sights of Southampton Water and the Solent.
Shieldhall is available for private charter or for hire as a venue alongside in Southampton, and offers a variety of courses for youth groups and steam enthusiasts.
View from the decks – Our mini-documentary series
EPISODE 3 – OUT NOW
We are delighted to share with you in stages our mini-documentary series about different locations around the Solent that we can see from the deck of the Steamship Shieldhall.
We have launched our first ‘View from the Decks’ on Thursday 28th March, and further ‘View from the Deck’ editions will launch on every Friday leading up to and including our first 2024 sailing, the Queen Anne Maiden Voyage cruise on 3 May.
In these videos, we will illustrate just what you can expect from a trip out to sea on Steamship Shieldhall. Southampton Water has a long and illustrious history, and a Shieldhall excursion, complete with an expert commentary, will help identify and bring alive its many sights and sounds.
