History

She was built by Cammell Laird 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 4 years for this route, all of a similar size. The other ships were the Irene and Anglesey.

Olga was the first L&NWR ship to be fitted with triple engines.

She was disposed of in 1908.
