SS Iberia (1873)

The SS Iberia was a British passenger steamship built in 1873 by J. Elder & Co. of Glasgow, Scotland, for the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O). She primarily served on P&O's routes between the United Kingdom and Australia, carrying passengers, mail, and cargo.

Iberia was a significant vessel in P&O's fleet, representing the advancements in steamship technology of the late 19th century. She provided comfortable accommodations and reliable service for travelers on the long voyages to the Antipodes.

Details of her career beyond the core role in P&O service, such as specific notable voyages, accidents, or her eventual disposal, require further research to fully complete the historical record. More detailed information, if available, would significantly enhance understanding of the Iberia's contribution to maritime history.
