SS Celtic (1903)

"Celtic" is a steamship which was built in Papendrecht, Netherlands in 1903 for E & W Goldsmith Ltd. She is currently under restoration at Sittingbourne, Kent.

History

"Celtic" was used to trade around the coast of Kent and Essex, and the Thames Estuary. She was mostly involved in the brickmaking and papermaking trades. In 1941 she was requisitioned for war service and used as a barrage balloon base at Portsmouth, later serving as the headquarters for Operation Frankton. She saw further service in Scotland after this. Postwar saw her in service along the south coast of the United Kingdom, finally ending her days working in the ballast trade.Dolphin Yard Sailing Barge Museum, Sittingbourne.]
