PS Minerva was a {{GRT|306}} passenger paddle steamer that J&G Thomson launched in 1893 for the Glasgow and South Western Railway (G&SWR). She served with the Royal Navy from 1916 and was sold into civilian service in Turkey in 1924. She was scrapped by 1928.

History

J&G Thomson of Clydebank launched Minerva for the G&SWR on 6 May 1893.[1] She had two sister ships with slight detail differences: {{PS|Glen Rosa}}, which was also built for the G&SWR, and {{PS|Slieve Donard}}, which was built for the Belfast and County Down Railway.

She worked various G&SWR ferry routes, commonly to Rothesay and the Kyles, and in winter to the Isle of Arran.[2] In 1902 she was re-boilered, as a result of which her funnel was moved further forward.[2]

In June 1916 the Admiralty requisitioned her for the Royal Navy as an auxiliary patrol vessel.[1] The Turkish Navy captured her in 1917.[2] After the Armistice of Mudros in 1918 she returned to the Royal Navy. From April 1919 she served as a minesweeper.[1]

In 1924 she was sold to Turkish owners,[1] who operated her as a ferry on the Bosphorus.[2] She had been scrapped by 1928.[1]
