PS Banshee was a passenger paddle steamer owned and operated by the London and North Western Railway from 1884 to 1906.[1]
History
Laird Brothers built her in Birkenhead for the London and North Western Railway (LNWR). She was launched on 30 January 1884, and completed that June.[2] The LNWR's railway locomotive works at Crewe made her boilers. She had electric lighting.[citation needed]
On 12 September 1889, Banshee collided with Irene 30 nautical miles (56 km) off Holyhead, Anglesey whilst on a voyage from Holyhead to Dublin. Both vessels were severely damaged. Banshee was assisted in to Holyhead by Irene.[3] In 1894 she was fitted with new engines, which increased her speed from 19 knots (35 km/h) to 21 knots (39 km/h).[citation needed]
In 1906 the LNWR sold her to JJ King, who resold her to Italian buyers in Genoa.[citation needed] She was scrapped that October.[2]
