◊ s.s. 'Devonia' & Cardiff Docks - The Barry Railway Company's paddle steamer built during 1905 looking rather in need of a good scrub and a coat of paint. In 1911 she entered the service of P. & A. Campbell's White Funnel Fleet hence her funnels would have then been gleaming white and the lower section of her hull shiny black.

Her somewhat shabby condition above suggests that this photograph was probably taken by Martin J. Ridley around 1910 when the fortunes of her owners were also at a low ebb. Another fine heritage postcard record held within the Penarth Dock Collection. [001] [M.J.R.B.7724]
