Historyedit
Duke of Sutherland was built as yard number 96 by A. Leslie and Company, Hebburn on Tyne, Northumberland for the London and North Western Railway. She was launched on 26 March 1868 and completed in May. The United Kingdom Official Number 58402 was allocated and her port of registry was London.[1] She may have been named for the third Duke of Sutherland, who had been a director of the railway (under his courtesy title of Marquess of Stafford). On 20 February 1877, she collided with Stanley and was driven ashore at Holyhead, Anglesey. All on board were rescued. She was on a voyage from Dublin to Holyhead.[2] She was withdrawn from service in 1888 and sold for breaking.[1]
