History
She was built by Harland and Wolff for the London and North Western Railway in 1885 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 Olga and Anglesey.
She was disposed of in 1906.

gollark: Boris Johnson is insisting that it's critically vital and important that everyone go to school as normal, because he is an incompetent apioid.
gollark: Yes. It was (is, I guess, I don't have school yet) so horrible being able to get up at reasonable times, work in a pleasant environment, and not have to commute.
