A memorial service will be held next month to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the loss of the SS Ellan Vannin.

The Steam Packet Company's small vessel sunk in 1909 travelling from Ramsey to Liverpool during one of the worst storms of the century.

Of the Ellan Vannin's 15 passengers and 21 crew, only three bodies were found in the ship's remains, which were found under 30 ft of water below the Mersey approach channel.

The memorial service will be held at the Ellan Vannin Memorial on West Quay, Ramsey from 6:30pm until 7pm.
