Comments:
Originally on the Weston to Minehaed and Barry service, she was similar in appearance to Glen Usk. She joined Campbells in 1911 and was renamed Barryfield from 1917 to 1920, when she reverted to her original name.. In 1926 she was again renamed, this time as Waverley (II) to commemorate the earliest of Campbells Bristol Channel steamers. Transferred to the South Coast in 1926, Waverley sailed from Eastbourne, Brighton and Hastings, as well as some cross channel work. She had a bow rudder fitted in 1934. Sadly, she was lost on war service in 1941.
