Strengthwas laid down at Harland & Wollf Ltd in
Belfast in 1942 as a general cargo ship for the British
ministry of war transport. She survived the war unharmed
and was sold in 1946 to Blue Star Line. She changed name
and owners several times before she was sold to Hegif
Compania Naviera in Greece in 1968, where she was renamed
to E. Evangelia. Under a journey from Rijeka to Constanta
she hit ground at night 19. October 1968 outside
Costinesti. Due to her old age and poor condition, she was
deemed unworthy of saving. The abandoned wreck of her
still stands on the site, being a local tourist attraction
in Costinesti.
