Remarks
Owned by London, Brighton and South Coast Railway before and after her WW1 service. Used on the Newhaven - Dieppe route.
In 1914, Brighton was requisitioned by the Royal Navy for use as a troopship. She was later used as a hospital ship. On 19 December 1914, she rescued the survivors of the naval trawler HMT Orianda, which had been sunk by a mine in the North Sea off Scarborough, Yorkshire. Brighton carried the American President Woodrow Wilson back to Dover after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.
In 1930, Brighton was sold to Mr W E Guinness, who converted her to a private yacht named Roussalka.
