MV Regal Lady

The MV Regal Lady is a 1930 built steel passenger boat moored at the port of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England.

The ship participated in Operation Dynamo at Dunkirk, was decommissioned in 1946, and in 1954 was moved to Scarborough and renamed from Oulton Belle to its current name.

[1] Powered by a Gardner Marine 8L3B long stroke reciprocal diesel engine, has a cruising speed of nine knots.

She was built to a proven design, unique to the Oulton Broad, featuring a canoe hull, and known as a 'double-ender', complementing her identical bows and stern.

Underneath the waterline, Regal Lady was originally propelled by two four bladed cast iron props, one fore and one aft, the main reason being that she was too large to turn round on the Norfolk waterways.
