Recalling halcyon days of setting sail with excursion steamer St Tudno
THIS week’s Nostalgia looks back at St Tudno, the excursion steamer that became a regular feature of the North Wales coastline.

Taking thousands of passengers with each trip, the vessel was part of the fleet of the Liverpool and North Wales Steamship Company, a pleasure cruise company founded in 1890.

Interesting photos bringing back many happy memories.
Top photo is St Tudno departing Llandudno Pier. Unusual as unless it was right on High tide it was usual to go astern off the pier, also notice ensign is at Half Mast.
Lower photo at Liverpool Landing Stage. North Wales steamer is St Seiriol and not St Tudno, ahead is Isle of Man ferry King Orry another regular visitor to Llandudno after Liverpool and North Wales S S CO when out of business.
Happy Days !

Ian:
The DP photos are fascinating, Steve. I've managed to rescue all the original photos from the site and I suspect it only needs a link fixing, and they'll all display again.
