PS Eleanor was a paddle steamer cargo vessel operated by the London and North Western Railway from 1873 to 1881.[1]
History
She was built by Robert Stephenson and Company for the London and North Western Railway in 1873.
She ran aground on 27 January 1881 at Leestone Point, Kilkeel, Ireland[2] and was lost. Within the year, the railway company had replaced her with a new paddle steamer of the same name, Eleanor.
