}} | PS Countess of Erne was a paddle steamer passenger vessel operated by the London and North Western Railway from 1863 to 1889.[1]HistoryShe was built by Walpole, Webb & Bewley, Dublin for the London and North Western Railway in 1868. She was sold to the Bristol General Steam Navigation Company in 1889 and used for a couple of years before being sold for scrap. She was then used as a coal hulk in various ports. Finally she sank in Portland Harbour on 16 September 1935 and is a popular site with scuba divers for training dives. References1. ^Railway and Other Steamers, Duckworth. 1962
