The SB Hibernia was a steamship built in 1843 in Scotland, primarily used for ferrying passengers and cargo along the River Clyde in Glasgow. This vessel was constructed by the shipbuilding firm Caird & Company and was one of the first steamships to operate on the river. The ship's design featured a wooden hull and a single-cylinder steam engine, which powered a paddlewheel. Throughout its service life, the SB Hibernia underwent several modifications and changes in ownership. It was initially operated by the Glasgow Steam Packet Company before being sold to various other companies over the years. The ship was eventually retired from service and dismantled in 1887. The SB Hibernia played a significant role in the development of steam-powered transportation on the River Clyde and contributed to the growth of Glasgow as an industrial and commercial hub in the 19th century.
