was built by Thomas Turnbull & Son in
Whitby, and was launched in 1888 for Thomas Turnbull
& Son. She sailed for the same company until 1913,
when she was sold to the Italian company Francesco
Degresso in Genoa and renamed Lilla. Under a journey
from England to Italy she fell victim to the most famous
uboat captain of all time, Lothar
von Arnauld de la Periere and his SM U 35 outside
Cartagena 14. October 1917. The wreck rest today in two
parts on a depth of 35 to 45 meter at Tomas Maestre.
Also see the
steamer Vilhelm Krag, another victim of SM U 35.
