This paddle steamer was built in 1905 by John Brown & Co. Ltd., Clydebank for the Barry Railway Co. Ltd. She was bought by P & A Campbell in 1911, after they had succeeded in forcing the rival Barry company out of business. During the First World War she served as a minesweeper on the East Coast, whilst during the inter-war years she was operated both in the Bristol Channel and on the south coast. She was lost at Dunkirk during the great evacuation of 1940, though unfounded rumours persisted for many years that she had been salved and put into service on the River Elbe.
