History
[edit]She was built by Harland and Wolff for the London and North Western Railway in 1888 and put on the Holyhead – Dublin route. She was one of a trio of ships built over four years for this route, all of a similar size. The other ships were Olga and Irene.[citation needed] On 25 November 1888, a fire broke out whilst she was on a voyage from Dublin to Holyhead. Cargo to the value of £2,000 was destroyed.[2]
She was disposed of in 1910.
