- The fourth
and last of the twin-funnelled standard Coast Lines motorships
was the Innisfallen
(2)
of 1930, used on the Fishguard-Cork service. She was smaller
than the initial Belfast SS trio (3071grt compared to 3735grt).
The ship was lost during WW2, and replaced with a new Innisfallen (3) in 1948, which operated
until 1969. The Innisfallen
(3)
of 1948 was built by Wm.Denny of Dumbarton, unlike all the other
Coast Lines passenger motorships. She was scrapped in 1985 after
further Mediterranean service.

official card of the Innisfallen of 1948. I believe she
may have been delivered in these green B & I colours, not
receiving City of Cork colours until the early 1950s.

another official card of the Innisfallen of 1947, in the
City of Cork colours that she is usually associated with. Slight
variations of this card have been issued with different lettering
on the face and the back.
