The Waterford Steamship Company provided shipping services between Waterford and Bristol and Liverpool from 1836 to 1912.[1]
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.[2]
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.[3]
It was absorbed by the Clyde Shipping Company in 1912.
