PS Limerick (1874)

PS Limerick was a paddle steamer built in 1874. It operated primarily on the River Shannon in Ireland, providing passenger and cargo transport between various towns and villages along the river. The "PS" prefix stands for "Paddle Steamer," indicating its method of propulsion. Vessels like the PS Limerick were vital to the economic and social life of the Shannon region during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, connecting communities and facilitating trade before the advent of widespread road and rail transport. Information on its specific dimensions, capacity, and operating history may be available in local historical archives or maritime records of the time.
