High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The RMV Scillonian (also referred to as Scillonian II) was a passenger ferry built for the Isles of Scilly Steamship Company in 1955 by John I. Thornycroft & Company of Woolston, Southampton. She was designed to carry 500 passengers and cargo between Penzance, Cornwall, to the offshore Isles of Scilly. The ship was ordered on 18 March 1954 at a contract price of Pds. 250,000 ( Pds. 8,000,000 as of 2010),, planned as a replacement for the first Scillonian which had been in continuous service since 1926. The new ship was laid down on 25 March 1955, completed on 15 November 1955 and christened by HRH The Duchess of Gloucester. The second Scillonian was powered by two 6 cylinder four stroke diesel engines (manufactured by Ruston & Hornsby) which propelled two three-blade screws, giving the ship a maximum speed of 15.5 knots.
