The Waterford Steamship Company ran 13 steamers to Bristol, Liverpool, and Irish ports. Services had been operating before 1836, but it was reorganized and registered as a new company this year. In 1870 the services operated from
Waterford to
London were taken over by the
British and Irish Steam Packet Company. In 1901, in a heavy fog,
RMS Oceanic of the
White Star Line was involved in a collision when she rammed and sank the small Waterford Steamship Company ship SS
Kincora, killing 7 people. It was absorbed by the
Clyde Shipping Company in 1912. ==References==
