SS Queen of Scotland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Queen of Scotland was the first steamship on the Aberdeen-London service, and the first paddle steamer built in Aberdeen's shipyards.[1][2] Duffus & Co. ceased business in 1846.[3] Launched in 1827 by Duffus & Co., the vessel was involved in an accident in 1833 at Northfleet, when the steamship ran down the 410 ton United Kingdom, a rum and sugar vessel arrived from Jamaica.[4] Queen of Scotland, though wooden-hulled, was undamaged and continued to serve the route.[5]
