>>What the Queen did do for the railway was to make the Isle of Wight so popular a holiday destination, that thousands of people visited each year. Initially the crossing to the island was completed on the ferry the Gareloch, however by late in 1863, it was replaced by the paddle steamer Her Majesty. Both ships were small the largest was less than 100 ton’s as they had to work close to the shore.
