St Magnus (I) (gross tonnage 618)

Built in 1864 as the "Waverley" for the Silloth to Dublin service.
This paddle steamer was bought by the North Company in 1867 and renamed the St Magnus (I).
Reputedly, she held the record shortest time on the Aberdeen to Lerwick run until the arrival of St Clair (III).
She operated on the route from Leith, and Aberdeen, to Kirkwall, and Lerwick, until she was sold in 1904 to Gibralter. She was broken up in 1913.
