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:
““No, not another song,” said he,
“Because my lady came
A year ago for the first time
At midnight to my room,
And I must lie between the sheets
When the clock begins to chime.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“This fantastic state of mind, of a humanity that has outrun its ideas, is matched by a political scene in the grotesque style, with Salvation Army methods, hallelujahs and bell-ringing and dervishlike repetition of monotonous catchwords, until everybody foams at the mouth. Fanaticism turns into a means of salvation, enthusiasm into epileptic ecstacy, politics becomes an opiate for the masses, a proletarian eschatology; and reason veils her face.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
