RMS Dunottar Castle
RMS ''Dunottar Castle'' was a Royal Mail Ship that went into service with the Castle Line (and its successor, the Union-Castle Line) in 1890 on the passenger and mail service between Britain and South Africa. In 1913 the ship was sold to the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company as the ''Caribbean''. After the outbreak of the First World War she served as HMS ''Caribbean'', first as a troop ship and then as an Armed Merchant Cruiser, until she sank in a storm off the Scottish coast on 27 September 1915.
==Construction and Service==
The ''Dunottar Castle'' was built at Govan Shipyards in 1889 by the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company for the Castle Line, passing to the Union Castle Line in 1900. She became famous in the 1890s for reducing the voyage from Southampton, England, to Cape Town, South Africa, from 42 days to 17 days and 20 hours. In 1894 she grounded for two tides near the Eddystone Lighthouse. She was refitted in 1897 when the funnels were heightened, her yards were removed and she was given a wheelhouse.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Castle Mail Packet Co )〕
