PS Grimsby was the second ship to carry this name and was the first steel built ship for the M, S & L Railway, their previous vessels being built of iron. She was employed on the Hull to New Holland ferry service. After the introduction of Brocklesby and Killingholme in 1912 she was relegated to the status of standby steamer, being used only when one of the other ferries was out of service. She was withdrawn in 1922 and sold for breaking up in March 1923 to H Lawrence of Grimsby.
