Service

PS Briton inaugurated the Stranraer to Larne crossing, but the service was not a success and was withdrawn after 18 months, in 1863.[1] Following this, she operated from Bristol to the South of Ireland, to Waterford between 1864 and 1866 and to Wexford between 1867 and 1890.[2] Her final year was spent under the ownership of the Waterford Steamship Company.
