PS Richard Young was a passenger vessel built for the Great Eastern Railway in 1871.[1]
The ship was built by J & W Dudgeon in Cubitt Town London for the Great Eastern Railway and added to the fleet in 1871.[2]
Named after a director of the railway company, she was used for their Harwich to Rotterdam and Antwerp services.[3][4]
