This page devoted to postcards and photographs of the Southampton, Isle of Wight & South of England Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. Ltd. (later marketed as Red Funnel Steamers) paddles steamer
Lorna Doone
.
Lorna Doone (1)
was built in 1891 for Bristol Channel work, but was unable to compete with the strong P & A Campbell fleet. She was brought to the South Coast, sold to the Southampton Company in 1898.
Lorna Doone (1)
originally had a norrow fore saloon and open foredeck. She was re-boilered in 1898 and received two funnels, reverting to a single funnel when it was deemed necessary to re-boiler her again only two years later. Her promenade deck was later extended to the bow, and she received a full width fore saloon. Her funnel colours were originally white (later with black top) before receiving "Red Funnel" colours in the 1930s.
Lorna Doone (1)
was not refitted after the second war, being scrapped in 1946.
