ABOUT

William Fawcett was the name given to two paddle steamers that operated in British waters from the late 1820s to the mid-1840s. The first ship, constructed in 1828, is widely regarded as the inaugural vessel in the service of what eventually evolved into the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O).
