SS Otway

SS Otway

The SS "Otway" was a British ocean liner owned by the Orient Line, built by Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company of Glasgow, Scotland and launched in 1909. She had five sister ships; Orsova, Osterley, Otranto, Orvieto, and the Orama. These ships allowed the Orient Line a prized attraction to the traveling public: fixed sailings every other week to Australia and New Zealand. The Otway was torpedoed and sunk off the Hebrides on July 23, 1917 during World War I with the loss of 10 lives.
