| Comments: | She was the first collier to be powered by steam alone. |
| She suffered undue delays as a result of the "Coal Turn Act", whereby vessels were | |
| loaded on the Tyne in strict order of when they arrived off the bar. | |
| The vessel was deemed uneconomic due to the delays and was sent to Australia. | |
| She is thought to be the first steamer to cross the Pacific Ocean. | |
