History

She was built by Cammell Laird for the London and North Western Railway in 1884. The boilers were made at the railway locomotive works at Crewe and electric lighting was installed.

In 1894 she was fitted with new engines and her speed increased from 19 to 21 knots.

She was sold to J.J. King in 1906 who then resold her to new owners in Genoa.
