Lets take you back on the history of Dorset Queen. ✨

🔸1938 – Built & Launched
Dorset Queen was built by Noble & Sons in Scotland in 1938, named ‘Gay Queen’ and spent her first 2 years cruising the Kyles of Bute & Loch Striven.

🔸1940 – Requisitioned by The Royal Navy
In 1940 she was requisitioned by The Royal Navy for war duties and is believed to have taken part in the Dunkirk rescue missions.

🔸1945 – Return to Scotland
After the war ended, she returned to Rothesay to her former life as a passenger vessel.

🔸1963 – US Naval Base Duty
In 1963 Gay Queen was once again used for military purposes, operating at the US Navy Base in Holy Loch.

🔸1990 – First appearance in Poole Harbour
In the 1990’s she was renamed ‘Alice Marie’ and operated services from Poole Quay to Wareham and Brownsea Island.

🔸2005 – A fresh start in Cornwall
In 2005 Alice Marie moved to Falmouth to operate as a St Mawes Ferry named ‘Queen of the Fal’.

🔸2008 – Restored by Dorset Cruises
Dorset Cruises purchased a very tired Queen in 2008 and after lovingly restoring her to her former glory, we renamed her ‘Dorset Queen’.

And overall this year we celebrate the 85th anniversary of Dorset Queen. ✨
