TSS Colleen Bawn was a twin screw passenger steamship operated by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway from 1903 to 1922.
[1] She was built by Vickers Limited of Barrow-in-Furness for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1903 and launched on 12 June 1903[2] by Mrs. Aspinall, wife of John Aspinall, one of the directors of the railway company.
With her sister ship TSS Mellifont she provided a passenger and freight service between Drogheda and Liverpool as a replacement for the paddle steamers Tredagh and Kathleen Mavourneen.
In 1912 the other ex-Drogheda Steam Packet Company paddlers, Iverna and Norah Creina, were also withdrawn from service.
The LMS passed the Drogheda-Liverpool route to the British & Irish Steam Packet Company in 1928, and the Colleen Bawn was moved to the freight service between Holyhead and Greenore.
