Ltd., she was launched on Christmas Day 1874 and sailed for a mere 13 years. On 13 April 1875, she departed on her maiden voyage from Liverpool to Quebec and then to Montreal. Until 1884, her regular run was between Liverpool and Quebec. On 23 November 1885, near Matane, she collided with the SS Bentholme which sank as a result. On 30 June 1886, she ran aground on the Antrim coast, but was refloated, sold, and renamed Lismore. On 8 June 1888, she was wrecked at Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic.
