1897 built Candina (ex Gloxinia) Tyne Iron SB Co. Ltd., Willington Quay.

I'm not dropping into the trap again.......

She was Stag Lines first order for 13 years and at the time shipbuilders were offering very keen prices.

She cost £27,860, which is all I can add to Dave's History.

A very detailed picture showing all her good bits. In fact much better than the two pictures in Nicholas Robinson's Stag Line Book. (WSS 1984)
