SS Royal Daffodil II

SS Royal Daffodil II was a Mersey ferry, built in 1934 to provide passenger ferry service across the River Mersey in England.

Royal Daffodil II was constructed by Cammell Laird at Birkenhead and entered service in 1934.

She was subsequently hit by a bomb during the May Blitz and sank at her berth at Seacombe on 8 May 1941.

[1][2] In 1957, the Royal Daffodil II was renamed the St. Hilary, thus making her original name available for use by her successor, which entered service in 1958.

In 1962 she was sold for scrap to Van Heyghen Frères of Ghent in Belgium.
