Comments:

Norfolk was a double ended paddler and operated with PS Essex and PS Suffolk for the Great Eastern Railway from Ipswich, where many cards of them can be seen. She sailed to Harwich and Felixstowe, also making sea trips from Felixstowe on an excursion basis. I have her as operating until 1929, when she was laid up, and variously being described as being sold to D Tweedie of Edinburgh and sold to Dutch shipbreakers, both in 1931.
