SS (RMS) Snaefell (I) – the first ship in the Company's history to bear the name – was an iron paddle steamer that served with the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company until she was sold in 1875. Construction and dimensionsSnaefell was the first of three similar vessels to be built for the Company by Caird & Co. of Greenock. Costing £22,000, she entered service in 1863. Length 236'; beam 26'; depth 14'. Snaefell had a registered tonnage of {{GRT|700}}. All three sisters – Snaefell, Douglas and Tynwald were driven by two-cylinder oscillating engines with in the case of Snaefell, a nominal horsepower of 240, producing an indicated horsepower of approximately 1,300. Snaefell was reboilered in 1869 for £3,500 (equivalent to £{{formatnum:{{Inflation|UK|3500|1869|{{Inflation-year|UK}}|r=0}}}} in {{Inflation-year|UK}}). Service lifeSnaefell was considered fast for her day, and had a service speed of {{convert|15|kn|lk=in}}.[3] She reduced the passage time from Douglas – Liverpool to 4hrs 20mins, suggesting a service speed of approximately {{convert|17|kn|lk=in}}. She ran aground in 1871, after which her Master, Capt. Corlett tendered his resignation. The Company's shareholders asked the board to reappoint him, but after much discussion the board declined. Capt. Thomas Lewis was given command at a salary of £225 (equivalent to £{{formatnum:{{Inflation|UK|225|1871|{{Inflation-year|UK}}|r=0}}}} in {{Inflation-year|UK}}) a year, reduced to half pay during lay up. DisposalAfter only 12 years with the Manx fleet, Snaefell was put up for sale. She was sold to the Royal Netherlands Steamship Company of Amsterdam for £15,500 (equivalent to £{{formatnum:{{Inflation|UK|15500|1875|{{Inflation-year|UK}}|r=0}}}} in {{Inflation-year|UK}}) in 1875. She was renamed the Stad Breda and plied between Sheerness and Flushing. In 1888, she was sold for scrapping. {{commons category|Category:Snaefell (ship, 1863)|Snaefell}}References1. ^Ships of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company (Fred Henry) p.66 2. ^Ships of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company (Fred Henry, 1973) p.64 3. ^Ships of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company (Fred Henry, 1973) p.64
