History
She was built by J & G Thomson of Govan for the Belfast Steamship Company, and in 1856 passed to the Chester and Holyhead Railway, which was taken over by the London and North Western Railway in 1859.
She ran aground on 27 January 1881 at Cooley Point, Ireland. She was salvaged but was beyond economical repair and scrapped in the same year.
