WOODEN-HULLED SIDEWHEEL STEAMSHIP
SS Sirius was a wooden-hulled sidewheel steamship built in 1837 by Robert Menzies & Sons of Leith,
Scotland for the London-Cork route operated by the Saint George Steam Packet Company.
The next year, she opened transatlantic steam passenger service when she was chartered for two
voyages by the British and American Steam Navigation Company.
By arriving in New York a day ahead of the Great Western, she is usually listed as the first holder of
the Blue Riband, although the term was not used until decades later.
