22nd October 1922: Portsmouth/Ryde Paddle Steamer

The weather in Portsmouth on 22nd October 1922 was chilly, settled and unusually dry, with a persistent area of high pressure stuck over southern England. As it was a Sunday only one paddle steamer was rostered for the Portsmouth/Ryde ferry. How did her day pan out: 22nd October 1922: Portsmouth/Ryde Ferry Service – Kingswear Castle
