}} | PS Violet was a paddle steamer passenger vessel operated by the London and North Western Railway from 1880 to 1902.[1]HistoryShe was built by Cammell Laird for the London and North Western Railway in 1880. She was a sister ship to Lily and built to the same specification. They were intended to operate a new overnight service between Holyhead and Dublin. The service previously had only been during the day time. The ship had new boilers and engines fitted in 1890-91 to increase the speed from 17¾ knots to 19½ knots. She was sold in 1902 to Liverpool and Douglas Steamers Ltd. References1. ^Railway and Other Steamers, Duckworth. 1962
