Built by Tranmere, U.K, for a Blackpool firm and originally named Deerhound, she was acquired and
renamed by the Postmaster-General's department in 1907. LADY EVELYN's new function was to meet transatlantic mail steamers in the
Gulf of St. Lawrence and take off the mail for transfer to trains.
She was commissioned in the RCN as a patrol vessel from Jun 1917
to 1919, and survived in commercial service on the west coast until
shortly before the Second World War. Her armament was 1-12pdr gun. The
Howe Sound Navigation Co. brought the screw steamer LADY EVELYN Evelyn a
former Canadian mail packet on the St. Lawrence, to Vancouver in
1921 for operation with Brittania. In 1923 she was bought by the Union Steamship Company of British
Columbia and remained with them until 1936, when she was scrapped.
