PICKFORD & BLACK S.S.CO.

TAYMOUTH CASTLE

She was built by Barclay Curie in Glasgow in 1877 for the Castle Line sailing to South
Africa. She grossed 1827 tons and had capacity for 50 x 1st class passengers. She was really too
small for the service and in 1879 she was relegated to “extra” steamer. She and her sister ship were
sold to Furness Withy in 1891 who modernised them and sold them on to Pickford & Black. In
1902 she was renamed Ocamo. She was sold in 1914 to the Newport Steamship Co and eventually
to French operators before being broken up in 1922.
