We are happy to present you all, the next real ship built by Osmania-Shipyard! The beautiful 'RMS Tynwald' from 1891.
RMS Tynwald was an passenger steamer which served with the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, and was the third vessel in the Company to bear the name.
Tynwald was designed and built as a winter vessel on the Douglas - Liverpool service, and in the summer on general duties which included the newly introduced Douglas — Ardrossan run.
The Tynwald continued in service, summer and winter, right through the 1st World War, except when undergoing survey and repairs. She came through unscathed. She carried no guns, was never camouflaged, but was painted as usual, black with red funnels.
It was intended to scrap her in 1933, but these arrangements were cancelled and she was purchased in 1934 by Mr. R. A. Colby Cubbin for conversion into a private yacht. In 1935 she was renamed Western Isles, but spent several years lying in the King George V Dock, Glasgow.
Western Isles was requisitioned by the Admiralty as an auxiliary in April 1940. On 27 October 1941, she was renamed Eastern Isles and used as an accommodation ship at HMS Eaglet in Birkenhead until 27 April 1946. In 1951, Eastern Isles was sold and taken in tow by the tug Airman to Spezia for breaking. She left Birkenhead at 07:30hrs on Wednesday, 13 May 1951.
