    Famous steam packet vessel comes 'home'

    A replica of one of the Steam Packet Company's most famous vessels is now on display in Douglas Sea Terminal.

    Monas Queen III was one of 10 company crafts comandeered for use in World War Two and was sunk at Dunkirk in May 1940.

    However, the 1934 model - which has been on loan at the Fleetwood Museum - was unveiled this week by Captain Jack Ronan.

    Steam Packet chief executive, Mark Woodward, says the display honours those from the company who lost their lives during the conflict.
