TS Queen Alexandra

 TS Queen Alexandra was built in 1912 by William Denny and Brothers, Dumbarton for Turbine Steamers Ltd, to replace a previous Queen Alexandra of 1902, which had been extensively damaged by fire. The new Queen was designed for the long distance cruises. Her first public sailing was on 23 May 1912 to Campbeltown. Fast and manoeuvrable, she soon became a popular boat.

In 1935, her owners Turbine Steamers Ltd were sold to David MacBrayne Ltd and the turbine steamers King George V and Queen Alexandra transferred to the Western Isles. Queen Alexandra went for refit at Lamont's shipyard, where she was transformed. This was all in preparation for her new role on the "Royal Route". Her similarity to Cunard's Queen Mary earned her the nickname "MacBrayne's little Cunarder".[

Withdrawn after 48 years of sterling service in September 1958, she was towed to Smith & Houston's shipyard in Port Glasgow on 23 December 1958 and was scrapped.

Picture is before her 1935 refit.
