Original painting of T.S.S. Saint Columba by Ian G Orchardson.
Saint Columba was originally built as T.S.S. Queen Alexandra in 1912, she remains the longest turbine steamer ever built for Clyde service and the only three funnelled steamer that served the Clyde. She was renamed Saint Columba after being purchased by David MacBrayne in 1935 and became the Ardrishaig mail steamer operating until 1958.
