SS Peel Castle was a passenger and cargo ship built in 1936 for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company. The ship primarily operated between the Isle of Man and the British mainland. During World War II, it was requisitioned by the British Admiralty for use as a minesweeper in the English Channel. After the war, the ship returned to its original service routes. In 1950, SS Peel Castle was involved in a collision with another vessel, resulting in substantial damage. Despite repairs, the ship was soon deemed surplus to requirements and was sold for scrap in 1951. The ship's service history reflects the vital role played by such vessels in passenger and cargo transportation, as well as in wartime operations, making it a significant part of maritime history.
