PS Princess Margaret was a passenger vessel built for the London and South Western Railway and London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in 1893. [1]
The ship was built by Scotts of Greenock and launched on 14 April 1893. [2] She was constructed for a joint venture between the London and South Western Railway and the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway for the passenger trade to the Isle of Wight.
On 10 March 1910 she was in collision with the destroyer HMS Crane. The destroyer's bows were badly smashed. [3]
In 1912 a strong flood tide carried her against the flagship HMS Victory. Her stern was slightly twisted, and the Victory's companion ladder was damaged. [4]
