  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.
  It was absorbed by the Clyde Shipping Company in 1912.
