context_page_description: SS Viking was a steel, triple-screw turbine driven passenger steamer operated by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company between 1905 and 1954.
context_section_description: Vindex was sold back to the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company in April 1919, and reverted to her original name rejoining the fleet after her conversion back to a passenger steamer in July 1920.
  For another ten years she dominated the Fleetwood - Douglas service until she was replaced following the introduction into service in 1930 of the Lady of Mann.
  When the Lady of Mann commenced her sailings to Fleetwood, Viking, although still serving the port, also began to undertake more general work.
