Across the Old Mill Pond you get a great view of the PS Ryde. Now little more than a rusting hulk, in her heyday she was a paddle steamer acting as a passenger ferry between the Isle of Wight and the mainland. The PS Ryde fulfilled this role between the mid 1930s and the late 1960s, with a break during the Second World War where she saw active service as a mine sweeper and an anti-aircraft ship.
