TSS Anglesey was a steam turbine cargo vessel operated by the London and North Western Railway from 1888 to 1910.
History
She was built by Harland and Wolff for the London and North Western Railway in 1888 and put on the Holyhead – Dublin route. She was one of a trio of ships built over four years for this route, all of a similar size. The other ships were Olga and Irene. On 25 November 1888, a fire broke out whilst she was on a voyage from Dublin to Holyhead. Cargo to the value of £2,000 was destroyed.[2]
She was disposed of in 1910.
