The PS Wingfield Castle is a former Humber Estuary ferry, now preserved as a museum ship in Hartlepool, County Durham, England.[1]
The Wingfield Castle was built by William Gray & Company at Hartlepool, and launched in 1934, along with a sister ship, the Tattershall Castle.[2] A third similar vessel, the Lincoln Castle built in Glasgow, was launched in 1940.[3]
She was earmarked to become a floating restaurant in Swansea Marina in the early 1980s but was too wide to fit through the lock gates.[3] She is now preserved at the Museum of Hartlepool as a floating exhibit at Jackson Dock, as part of the Hartlepool's Maritime Experience visitor attraction, which also includes HMS Trincomalee.[3][1]
