PS Telegraph was a paddle steamer passenger vessel operated by the London and North Western Railway from 1859 to 1874.[1]

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.[2]

gollark: Fascinating.

gollark: According to this very trustworthy table, it actually does have unreasonably vast amounts of throughput.

gollark: It's a shame they haven't backported the apparently nice-to-program bits of AVX-512 to AVX2, just without the whole 512-bits thing.

gollark: I assume it's because they didn't put it in the E-cores because big register file or something.

gollark: They have good reasons, I think, but it's also really stupid.
