Comments:
Another large, well proportioned steamer, she was over 330 feet in length and was built by Fairfields for the "Manx Line" company. After a short period of competition which served neither company, she was taken into the service of the IOMSP Co, along with her sister Queen Victoria. Sporting a top speed of over 23 knots in the right conditions, she was called up by the Admiralty in 1915 for cable laying duties. Sadly she never returned to peacetime service and was scrapped in Holland.
