King Orry is of special interest, as she was the only ship in the Company's history to be built in Douglas. Although the John Winram yard gets the credit for her construction, it is probable that the building was supervised by Aitken of Liverpool, and the Douglas yard merely carried out the construction. Later in 1842, she was taken under tow by Mona's Isle to Glasgow, for her engines to be fitted by Robert Napier & Co.
