SS (RMS) Queen of the Isle was a paddle steamer which was constructed by Robert Napier & Co. Glasgow.
No Official number is recorded for the vessel, as formal registration was not introduced until the Merchant Shipping Act 1854.
[1][2] Queen of the Isle served the Steam Packet for eleven years, until the Company sold her in 1845.
A report in the Glasgow Herald in 1834 stated:- "She has, by competent judges, been pronounced one of the finest specimens of naval architecture that has ever floated, and that it is confidently expected that, when completed, she will be unrivalled in speed and comfort.
"[5] Her commencement of service was greeted with excitement on the Isle of Man, the Mona's Herald stating:- "We have also understood, that it is the intention of this spirited company to place on the line between Liverpool and Douglas early in June, another superior steamer, (which is now building at Greenock,) the Queen of the Isle, to be commanded by Captain William Gill, and intended to run in concert with the Mona's Isle every day alternately, with the mail and passengers, when those persons who are desirous of making an agreeable summer excursion to the island will be enabled to avail themselves of the opportunity presented by these first-rate vessels.
