PS Princess Elizabeth was a paddle steamer ship that operated on the River Thames in England during the mid-19th century. Built in 1840, the ship was originally named the PS Queen Victoria but was later renamed after Princess Elizabeth, the daughter of Queen Victoria. The vessel was used for passenger transportation between London and Gravesend, offering an elegant and luxurious experience for travelers. It featured ornate decorations, spacious cabins, and a dining saloon. The Princess Elizabeth had a successful career until it was retired in 1888 due to changes in transportation preferences and the decline of paddle steamer operations. After being decommissioned, the ship was converted into a floating pub and later a houseboat. Despite its eventual demise, the Princess Elizabeth remains a significant part of the history of paddle steamers on the River Thames and is remembered for its opulence and contribution to transportation in the region during the Victorian era.
