PS Adelaide was a passenger paddle steamer built for the Great Eastern Railway (GER) in 1880.

[1] The Barrow Shipbuilding Company built Adelaide for the Great Eastern Railway.

A train was scheduled to leave London Liverpool Street Station at 9.00am to Harwich, where it connected with the paddle steamer Adelaide which left at 11.00am to arrive in Antwerp the same evening.

[3] There was a corresponding return service from Antwerp on Tuesdays and Fridays, reaching London the same night.

The company also offered a daily weekday service which left Liverpool Street at 8.00pm every evening, with a connecting boat service overnight to Antwerp and Rotterdam, with arrivals early the following morning.
