General characteristics

PS Norah Creina was a paddle steamship operated by the Drogheda Steam Packet Company from 1878 to 1902 and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway from 1902 to 1912.^[1]

History

She was built by A. & J. Inglis of Glasgow for the Drogheda Steam Packet Company. Her arrival in Drogheda on Sunday 23 June 1878 was witnessed by a large crowd. The steam tug, Black Eagle, went out to meet her with some Boyne Commissioners on board. The Norah Creina grounded twice in the river, the tide only half in, and on the second occasion, the Black Eagle was required to tow her free. As she arrived at the quay, the steamers Tredagh and Lord Athlumney fired salutes of welcome from their cannon.^[2]

She transferred to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1902 when they took over the business of the Drogheda company.

In 1912 she was sold and scrapped in France.
