History

She was built by William Denny and Brothers for the London and North Western Railway in 1895 and put on the Holyhead - Greenore route in succession to paddle steamer Earl Spencer.

She was named after the townland in which the village of Rostrevor is located in County Down, Northern Ireland.

On 2 March 1896 she was grounded at Carlingford Lough. She was refloated on 7 March, repaired and returned to service.[2]

In 1908, the TSS Rathmore replaced her on this route. Her first class accommodation was removed and she was transferred to the Holyhead - Dublin service.

She was scrapped in 1926.

gollark: Specifically factorials up to 7! or so, it's computationally intractable and/or overflows Discord messages beyond that.
gollark: Oh, I can have it generate a convenient formula for factorials too!
gollark: Hmm, Desmos is fine with the simplified version, fun.
gollark: It's not some sort of optimizer thing, it's literally just Lagrange interpolation bodgily implemented in TypeScript.
