MS Lady Of Mann
The MS Lady of Mann (II) was a side-loading car ferry built for and operated by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company. She was the second vessel in the line's history to be so named, the first being the company's "centenary steamer", RMS Lady of Mann which entered service in 1930. Lady of Mann was built in 1976 by Ailsa Shipbuilding in Troon, Scotland. She was probably the most popular vessel to ever serve the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, serving the company for 29 years.
In 2005 she was converted to a RORO ferry and was operated by SAOS Ferries in Greece under the name MS Panagia Soumela until she was reportedly scrapped in August 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or mann:
“When a lady of wealth, is seen roaming about in search of cheaper articles, or trying to beat down a shopkeeper, or making a close bargain with those she employs, the impropriety is glaring to all minds. A person of wealth has no occasion to spend time in looking for extra cheap articles; her time could be more profitably employed in distributing to the wants of others. And the practice of beating down tradespeople, is vulgar and degrading, in any one.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“Unhappy German nation, how do you like the Messianic rôle allotted to you, not by God, nor by destiny, but by a handful of perverted and bloody-minded men.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
