TSS Caledonian Princess, (later the Tuxedo Princess and Prince), was a British built turbine steamship. Built in 1961 as a roll-on/roll-off (RORO) ferry, she spent much of her later life as a one of the permanently moored Tuxedo floating nightclubs, being finally scrapped in 2008.
Caledonian Princess was built on the River Clyde in Scotland by William Denny and Brothers in Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire. She was launched on 5 April 1961, and completed by November 1961. In 1983 she became the nightclub Tuxedo Princess. In 2008 the ship was renamed Prince, and finally broken up for scrap in Aliağa, Turkey, on 23 August 2008.[1]
