Detail of the Severn Princess which was one of three ferries carrying vehicles across the Severn between Aust (10 miles north of Bristol) and Beachley in Gloucestershire.

The Princess operated from 1959 to 1966, when the first Severn bridge opened. The boat was later found as a wreck in Ireland. It was brought back to Beachley by the Severn Princess Restoration Group in 2003 and now sits not far away on the bank of the River Wye in Chepstow.

With the support of Mabey Bridge Ltd, the Group hopes to get the Severn Princess to a state in which it can become a permanent heritage feature.
