Unfortunately this historic vessel has been cut up for scrap in spite of the best efforts of the Paddle Steamer Society to save it. It used to ply the River Humber between New Holland and Hull, connecting with the train at the former until the opening of the Humber Bridge. The other two sisters still exist. The Tattershall Castle is a floating pub/restaurant by the Thames Embankment and the Wingfield Castle is berthed in Hartlepool as a floating exhibit, sadly with no beer.

Currently the Lincoln Castle has been moved further up the dock and "beached" so that the lower hull can be overhauled. I expect that it will soon be restored to its former position but I'm not hopeful of the real ales being likewise restored.

We love this old boat and have been four or five times in the last 2 years - each time there has been no food available at all, and we find the vessel in a very sad condition. Needs a good clean and some charm training for the staff.

A wonderful eating environment. The engines look most enchanting.
One can almost feel the wonderful bygone atmosphere of steam. A great shame that the ship has not been restored to steamable condition as have some others have been, quite succesfully too i might add.
