SS City of Paris (1865)
:This article is for the steamship that was briefly named ''Tonquin''. For the sailing vessel of the American Fur Company, see Tonquin.
''City of Paris'' was a British passenger liner operated by the Inman Line that established that a ship driven by a screw could match the speed of the paddlers on the Atlantic crossing. Built by Tod and Macgregor, she served the Inman Line until 1884 when she was converted to a cargo ship.
==Development and design==

By the end of the American Civil War, Inman was the largest passenger steam ship line to America, and was known for its screw propelled ships that were economical, but not especially fast. When in 1862 Cunard commissioned ''Scotia'', a paddle wheel Blue Riband holder, it also commissioned ''China'', the first screw steamer in Cunard's express mail service. While ''China'' was only a knot slower than ''Scotia'', China's coal consumption was only half of Scotia's while China carried more cargo. Cunard quickly ordered two additional screw steamers to partner the paddlers ''Scotia'' and ''Persia'' on the New York express route. Cunard also opened a secondary service for immigrants that directly competed against Inman. Inman countered Cunard by opening its own express service. With ''City of Paris'', Tod and Macgregor started construction of five fast liners for Inman's Liverpool - New York route to rival the Cunard Line's best. In response, Cunard commissioned its own fast screw express liners, starting with ''Russia'' that replaced ''Persia'' in 1867.〔
