PS Malakoff
From Graces Guide
The MALAKOFF was built in London in 1851 by Caird and Co., Greenock, and it is believed that she was employed in government service during the Crimean War. Her particulars were as follows: Length 193.6 ft., beam 25.1 ft., depth 13.3 ft., cylinders 54.375 x 60 in. Boiler pressure 15 lb., n.h.p. 240. She was originally fitted with side lever engines and had the usual square stern common to naval ships of her day. After the war, no record appears to be obtainable of her doings until her appearance at Milford to run on the Waterford service. She was re-boilered in 1874 and remained with the Great Western Railway until about 1882, when she was broken up.[1]
