  • Steamships at Hastings Pier
    Steamships at Hastings Pier Passengers aboard the Devonia in 1925, (HPC001.001) www.hastingspier.org.uk 1 Steamships at Hastings Pier The paddle steamer Carrick Castle was purchased second-hand in 1885 by the newly formed Hastings and St Leonards Passenger Steamship Co Ltd. She began trips from Hastings Pier in May 1885, the year this picture was painted, taking up to 360 passengers at a time. A Painting of Steamship Carrick Castle with Hastings Pier in background. By George Mears, 1885. This Painting is in Hastings Museum. Not all the ships that worked from Hastings Pier were paddle steamers. This is the Lady Brassey at the landing stage on eastern side of the Pier. She was built in 1886 in Newcastle for the Hastings and St Leonards Passenger Steamship Co, could carry 372 passengers, and had two steam driven propellers at the rear. But she didn’t last long because in 1890 she was sold on to Amazon Steamship Co Ltd in Paraguay. The Lady Brassey moored at Hastings Pier head. (HPC006.128) www.hastingspier.org.uk 2 Paddle steamers were the preferred craft because they could operate in shallow water, were highly manoeuvrable, and so were ideal for running the seaside excursions from piers which had become very popular by the 1880s. Between 1886 and 1890 the landing stages at Hastings Pier were extended twice, on the eastern and southern sides, so that up to four vessels could be moored at a time. The Lady Brassey was replaced by the Seagull, which was really a steam tug with a passenger certificate.
