In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the SS Monas Queen is seen gracefully leaving the harbour at Fleetwood, Lancashire, circa 1907. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, as the paddlesteamer, with its majestic silhouette and billowing smoke, bids farewell to the quay. 3. The SS Monas Queen was a popular passenger and cargo ferry that operated between Fleetwood and the Isle of Man. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the port, where the hustle and bustle of loading and unloading cargo, as well as the excitement of boarding passengers, were common sights. 4. The quayside, lined with various buildings and structures, adds depth and context to the scene. The cranes, winches, and other machinery suggest the industrious nature of the port, while the people and vehicles on the dock provide a sense of scale and activity. 5.

The paddlesteamer's paddlewheels churn the water as it departs, leaving a trail of white foam in its wake. 6. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime history of Fleetwood and Lancashire. The SS Monas Queen, along with other vessels of its time, played a crucial role in connecting the region to the wider world, facilitating the movement of people and goods. 7.
