St Elian (1) (1907-1915)

 

150ft long - 203gt - 2-cyl paddle steamer

 

St Elian (1) was built as the Southampton of the Southampton, Isle of Wight and South of England Royal Mail Steam Packet Company (later known as Red Funnel Steamers). Southampton was the first of a series of seven iron-hulled steamers delivered from Barclay, Curle and Co, Glasgow. She was delivered in 1872, and operated on their route from Southampton to the Isle of Wight. Southampton was of modern design, with compound diagonal engines and funnel forward of the paddleboxes. Southampton was sold in 1902 to R.R.Collard of Newhaven, who ran her on the South Coast under her original name. She also ran excursions from Ostend to Flushing along the Belgian coast, probably under the same ownership. In 1907 Southampton was sold to the L&NWSS for use on short excursions along the North Wales coast. Her bridge was moved forward of the funnel. She was renamed St Elian (1) and was scrapped in 1915.

St Trillo (1) (1909-21)

 

165ft long - 198gt - 2-cyl paddle steamer

 

St Trillo (1) was built as the Carisbrooke of the Southampton, Isle of Wight and South of England Royal Mail Steam Packet Company (later known as Red Funnel Steamers). Carisbrooke was the second of a series of seven iron-hulled steamers delivered from Barclay, Curle and Co, Glasgow. She was of less modern design than her predecessor, the Southampton, with compound oscillating engines and funnel behind the paddles. Carisbrooke was delivered in 1876, and operated on their route from Southampton to the Isle of Wight. Carisbrooke was sold in 1906 to the Colwyn Bay & Liverpool Steamship Company. After one year, she passed to the Mersey Trading Company and was renamed Rhos Trevor. At the end of the 1908 season, she moved on again to W.Hawthorn of Rhyl. In May 1909 Rhos Trevor was sold to the L&NWSS for use on short excursions along the North Wales coast. She was renamed St Trillo (1). She served as a minesweeper during the war, returning to service in 1919. St Trillo (1) was sold to Spanish owners in 1921.

St Seiriol (1) (1914-1918)

 

St Seiriol (1) was a small geared turbine steamer delivered in 1914, too late to enter service before the war. She was lost on 25th April 1918. Despite never entering service, the postcard below is fairly common, so there was obviously plenty of advance publicity.
