Notes:
Possibly known as Prince (the details below relate to this vessel).
Queen, Maid of Erin, Prince and Princess were originally owned by River Steamer Company who sent them to Cork over the years 1838-43. In 1844 the vessels formed the nucleus of the River Steamer Co. (later the Citizens' River Steamers Co.) fleet. The Queen and the Maid of Erin arrived in 1838. After a few years they went to Waterford, but it was not long before they were back on the Lee. The Maid of Erin worked the Waterford-Suir-Ross and Duncannon run during the mid-1840s with the Shamrock.
