PS Adelaide (1880)
PS ''Adelaide'' was a passenger vessel built for the Great Eastern Railway in 1880.
==History==
The ship was built by the Barrow Shipbuilding Company for the Great Eastern Railway and launched on 8 May 1880. She was launched by Mrs. Adelaide Simpson, the wife of Mr. Lightly Simpson, one of the directors of the Great Eastern Railway Company. She was the first steel ship owned by the Great Eastern Railway and its last paddle steamer, and was intended for the Harwich to Rotterdam service.
In 1885 the Great Eastern Railway launched their twice weekly new morning service to the continent. A train was scheduled to leave London Liverpool Street Station at 9.00am to Harwich, which connected with the paddle steamer ''Adelaide'' which departed at 11.00am to arrive in Antwerp the same evening. There was a corresponding return service from Antwerp on Tuesdays and Fridays, reaching London the same night. In addition the company offered an ordinary week-day service which left London Liverpool Street Station at 8.00pm every evening, with a connecting boat service overnight to Antwerp and Rotterdam, with arrivals early the following morning.
She was withdrawn from service in 1896 scrapped in 1897.
