'Totnes Castle', a 91-ton, steel hulled paddle steamer, built in 1923. 108ft long. Took holidaymakers on trips up the Dart to Totnes until the end of the summer season of 1963. In 1967, she was sold for breaking in Plymouth, but while being towed there, foundered at 50 15 20; 03 58 44. Now sits upright in a hollow in the shingle, with superstructure missing, but engines clearly seen along with many of the gauges.
