- This page
is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Isle of Man Steam
Packet Company (IOMSPCo) turbine steamer Mona's Queen (4)
of 1946. She was one of six similar steamers delivered between
1946 and 1955.
-
- The British
steamer Mona's Queen was bought by Chandris in 1962, and
reappeared the following year as the Carina, carrying
220 passengers and 60 cars. In 1964 she was rebuilt again as
a full cruise ship carrying 378 passengers, and was renamed Fiesta.
The Mona's Queen was one of six sister ships built by
the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company between 1946 and 1955. The
last of the six sisters, the Manxman of 1955 just about
survives in a run-down condition as a bar and club. Fiesta
was laid up in the mid-seventies, and was scrapped in 1981. I
have not yet found a postcard as Carina, but two variations
on a card of Fiesta are shown below.

Tuck version (I.O.M.188) of the photo above with a white border.
Lilywhite also issued the card with the border. Their card is
not shown because it looks identical to this (with the same I.O.M.188
serial number) but without the caption A Tuck Card in
the bottom right corner.
