SS Sagamore

SS Sagamore

SS "Sagamore" was the only British built whaleback freighter.

History

Built under license from Alexander McDougall (1845–1923), the "Sagamore" was refused entry to England. She was owned by the Belgian American Maritime Co (which was restyled the Belgian Maritime Trading Co SA). In 1896 she was sold again to Cogneti Schiaffino of Genoa, Italy and renamed "Solideo" in 1911. She was renamed again as "Ilva" in 1916 and finally purchased by A Piaggio of Genoa in 1916. She was sailing between Genoa and Barry Roads when she was torpedoed and sunk in the Atlantic off the coast of Spain on 4 May 1917 by "UC-69". There were no casualties.
