Jarvis Posted 4 March , 2007 Share Posted 4 March , 2007 Are you certain the Cornwall was renamed to Iron Duke ? I have quickly scanned the net for the two names and arrived at the two listed below, both very different ships. So far I have not come about the name changing event. It would appear that Duke of Cornwall was renamed Rushen Castle, not sure what date and was eventually scrapped in 1948. SS Duke of Cornwall (LYR/LNWR Joint: 1898-1922 - 1,540 grt) (LNWR: 1922) (LMS: 1923-1928) Duke of Cornwall was built by Vickers for the joint LYR/LNWR Fleetwood-Ireland services in 1898. http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/IOM_RushenCastle.html SS IRON DUKE built by T Wingate & Company Glasgow, Yard No 30 Propulsion: 2cy 100nhp paddle .. re engined 1879 2cy hp inverted 38nhp 1scr Avonside Engine Works, Bristol (made 1872) Built: 1857 Ship Type: Paddle Tug Tonnage: 121grt 48nrt (1879 91nrt; 1883 140grt 95nrt) Length: 112.2ft (1879 108.3ft) Breadth: 18.9ft (1879 19.2ft) Owner History: Cardiff Steam Towing Co, Cardiff 1864 Cardiff & Penarth Steam Towing Co Ltd, Cardiff 1889 ??, Bristol Remarks: rebuilt and converted to screw in 1879 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
