PS Caledonia was a paddle steamer built in 1934. She principally provided an Upper Clyde ferry service, later moving to Ayr and then Craigendoran.^{[citation needed]}

During the Second World War, she served in the Royal Navy as a minesweeper and then an auxiliary anti-aircraft ship under the name HMS Goatfell.

Her final days were as a floating pub in London until destroyed by fire in 1980.^{[citation needed]}
