Half-sister Streaker Saturn will finally leave the Clyde sometime in May 2015 , under the name Orcadia , for a new life in the north.

Jeez Jim you're going back a few years there, still about 20 years before I was born haha. Still miss seeing this grand old girl on the Upper Clyde. Just hope they can do something to the Saturn before it's too late.

MV Jupiter was a passenger and vehicle ferry in the fleet of Caledonian MacBrayne in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland. She entered service in 1974, and operated the Gourock to Dunoon crossing for much of her career.

She was the oldest of three "streakers" and the third River Clyde steamer to bear the name 'Jupiter'.

She was the first of a new generation of car ferries built in the 1970s to serve the routes on the Firth of Clyde. These ships came to be nicknamed the "Streakers" because of their greater speed (compared to what had served the area’s routes previously) and superb manoeuvrability (due to her novel propulsion units, which greatly reduced loading and unloading times at each end of her route).

Her open car deck was accessible by stern and side ramps ro-ro. In 2006, she became the oldest vessel in the CalMac fleet and operated for longer than any vessel ever in the fleet.

Fate: Laid up at Rosneath October 2010-June 2011, towed away from the Clyde 25 June 2011, scrapped at Grena, Denmark August–October 2011.

Jupiter was sold for breaking Up in 2011.
