RMS Duke of Lancaster was a steamer passenger ship operated by the London Midland and Scottish Railway from 1928 to 1956.^[1]

In service

She entered service with two other ships, {{RMS|Duke of Argyll|1928|6}} and {{RMS|Duke of Rothesay|1928|6}}. Built at William Denny and Brothers, Dumbarton and completed in 1928, she was designed to operate as a passenger ferry on the Heysham to Belfast. In May 1929 she sustained slight damage after a collision with her sister ship Duke of Rothesay.

On 27 November 1931 she caught fire in Heysham Harbour, Lancashire, England, and burned for 24 hours. She capsized on 28 November. She was raised in January 1932, repaired at William Denny and Brothers, and returned to service.^[2]

In August 1932 she went aground on Copeland Island in a fog, but was refloated successfully. In September 1934 she collided with a trawler in Morecambe Bay.

She ran aground again at Bride at the Point of Ayre on the Isle of Man on 14 June 1937.^[3] She was refloated the following day.^[2]

On 13 January 1940 she collided with and sank the coaster Fire King belonging to Messrs. Gilchrist.^[2]

Replacement

In 1956, along with her sister ships she was replaced by {{ship|TSS|Duke of Lancaster|1956|6}}.
