The design closely followed that of the Duchess of Argyll, built 21
years earlier (the CSP's last new vessel before the new "Sannox")
Went straight on to LMS's Ardrossan - Arran run and was not
registered for wider cruising under the CSP
Re-registered as a CSP steamer in 1936 and thus able to extend her
range to Campbeltown in Kintyre.
Remained on the Clyde during World War II, serving the Arran piers
from Fairlie
Returned to the Ardrossan station, serving until the end of 1953
Sold in the summer of 1954 to Belgian shipbreakers and dismantled at
