Comments:
Launched on 27 March 1871, King Orry (II) was a good looking steamer, capable of carrying 1104 passengers at just over 14 knots. She was reboilered in 1888 and recieved more upto date compound diagonal machinery, which added over a third to her gross registered tonnage. When she was retired from service in 1912 she had the longest serving record of any of the company's ships until that time. She was scrapped at Deeside and one of the crests from her paddle box was placed in a local hotel called the Letty Hotel.
