Peter Pan - SF Panther - St Clair
 
This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the 1965 Travemünde-Trelleborg ferry Peter Pan, which later served with P&O Southern Ferries and P&O Scottish Ferries. She had a sistership Nils Holgersson of 1966.
 
Peter Pan was built for Travemünde-Trelleborg Linie in 1965 by Lübecker Flender-Werke. Peter Pan served on the Travemünde-Trelleborg route until 1973 when she was sold to Southern Ferries (part of the P&O Group). Peter Pan was renamed SF Panther and used on a route from Southampton to San Sebastian (Spain). The route was not a great success, and SF Panther was withdrawn in November 1975, soon going on charter to Oslo-Aarhus Linie (Da-No Linje) as the Terje Vigen. In 1977, ownership was transferred to sister P&O company North of Scotland, Orkney & Shetland Shipping Co, for service between Aberdeen and Lerwick (Shetland) as the fourth St Clair. Ownership was transferred to P&O Scottish Ferries in 1978. St Clair continued as the primary Aberdeen-Shetland ferry until 1992, when she was briefly renamed St Clair II to release the name for the fifth St Clair.
