SS Cameronia

The SS "Cameronia" was a twin-screw triple-expansion 15,600-BHP passenger steamship. It was owned by Anchor Line Glasgow and built by D&W Henderson Ltd. (Glasgow, Scotland - Yard No. 472) in 1911. The ship acted as a transatlantic service from Glasgow to points of destination.

The "Cameronia" sailed its maiden voyage for the Anchor Line company on September 13, 1911 on the Glasgow - Mowville - New York route. In February 1915, the "Cameronia" was employed in a joint Anchor-Cunard company service on the Glasgow - Liverpool - New York route.

The "Cameronia was" torpedoed on April 15, 1917 by a German submarine, "U-33", while en route from Marseille, France to Alexandria, Egypt. It was serving as a troopship at the time and contained approximately 2,650 soldiers on board. The ship sank in 40 minutes, 150 miles east of Malta; taking 210 lives.
