The Dundee screw steamship Hibernia, 1865. 'The screw-steamer Hibernia is the last vessel that the Dundee, Perth, and London Shipping Company have added to their fleet. Her dimensions are as follow: Length over all, 235 ft.; keel and forerake, 216 ft.; breadth, moulded, 28 ft.; depth, 17 ft. 6 in.; horse-power, 180. Full poop and forecastle, the former handsomely fitted up for forty first-class passengers. This vessel has made the most rapid voyages between Dundee and London that ever have been made: running from Dundee to Gravesend in thirty-one hours and from Gravesend to Dundee in thirty-one hours and a half. This vessel...was built, and furnished with her engines, by Messrs. Gourlay Brothers and Co., of Dundee. One of these vessels is occasionally employed to bring the earliest fruit of the season from Patras to London, and, when so employed, has generally succeeded in making the most rapid voyage of the season'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
