Comments:
This small steamer was built for the Fleetwood to Heysham and Blackpool service on which route she plied until sold to Cosens & Co in 1913. In June of that year she sailed for Cosens from Weymouth to Bournemouth & Swanage and her name was changed to Melcombe Regis. She is shown here on the left at Blackpool, with PS Greyhound in the background. She survived the Great War, when she was used for War Office and Admiralty coastal work at Weymouth and Plymouth, but was sold for breaking up in 1920.
