New Holland is a small village and port on the Humber estuary in North Lincolnshire, England. The port handles mostly bulk cargoes. Formerly the embarkation point for the London & North Eastern Railway's ferry service to Hull Victoria Pier. The ferry service was operational from 1820 to 1981. One of the former paddle steamers used on the route - Tattershall Castle [(webpage)] - now serves as a London pub and restaurant, moored at The Embankment. Another former ferry, the Lincoln Castle, serves a similar purpose at Grimsby.
