Lot Essay

The iron screw steamer Kathleen was built and owned by R. Irvine & Co. of West Hartlepool. Completed in 1880, she was registered at 1,602 tons gross (1,033 net) and measured 257½ feet in length with a 34½ foot beam. After twenty years in service, she was sold to new owners just after 1900 and disappears from record soon afterwards, possibly after renaming.
