PS Sandown was a passenger vessel built for the Southern Railway in 1934.[1]

History

The ship was built by William Denny and Brothers in Dumbarton and launched on 1 May 1934[2] by Mrs E.J. Missenden, wife of the manager for the Southern Railway Company Docks at Southampton.{{cn|date=October 2017}} Costing £39,850, she was one of two ships placed by the railway company, the other being {{PS|Ryde||2}}.[3]

She was deployed on the Portsmouth to Ryde ferry service.

She was acquired by British Railways in 1948. On 30 June 1954, she went to the rescue of her sister ship {{PS|Ryde||2}} which had mechanical difficulties. The Sandown managed to secure a tow line and tow her to Portsmouth Harbour. [4]

She was scrapped in 1966.
