History
She was built by Thomas Vernon of Liverpool for the Chester and Holyhead Railway, which was taken over by the London and North Western Railway in 1859.
She was sold to the Waterford and Limerick Railway in 1877 and used as a hulk until 1897. She foundered off the Smalls on 25 July 1897 on the way to the breaker's yard.
