Tod & Macgregor Shiplist

Notes:

          On the Belfast-Stranraer route the Maid of Galloway was replaced in the mid 1840s by the Albion of the Glasgow & Stranraer SP Co. In the early 50s the PS Briton was sometimes used. A weekly service was provided but in some winters it was reduced to once a fortnight. In the early 60s the number of sailings was increased to three a week which were taken by the Scotia and the second Albion. The first Albion was retired from this service in 1860. The service was reduced to a weekly one on the opening of the Larne-Stranraer route in 1862.

          From 1862 she was employed on the Bristol-Waterford route. In 1867 she was employed on the Bristol-Wexford route, replacing Firefly which was subsequently broken up. Briton worked this route with the Bristol SN Co. until 1890 when she was transferred to the Waterford SS Co who retained her on the Wexford-Bristol run until she ran aground on the North Bar at Wexford in March 1892
