History
[edit]She was built by John Laird of Birkenhead for the Chester and Holyhead Railway.[2] On 27 September 1849, she suffered a broken main shaft when 20 nautical miles (37 km) off Holyhead, Anglesey whilst on a voyage from Kingstown, County Dublin to Holyhead. Her passengers were taken off by HMS Banshee. She was towed in to Holyhead by Hibernia.[3]
