MV Empire Abercorn

MV ''Empire Abercorn'' was a cargo and passenger ship built in 1944 and in service until 1971. She was also known as MV ''Rakaia''.
==History==
''Empire Abercorn'' was built by Harland & Wolff, Belfast for the MoWT and was initially managed by the New Zealand Shipping Co, London. She was sold to the New Zealand Shipping Co in 1946 and renamed ''Rakaia''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Empire — A )〕 In 1950, ''Rakaia'' was converted to a cadet training ship, and the accommodation reduced from 45 passengers to 40 cadets. Her first voyage in this role started on 10 June 1950.〔 On 16 February 1955, a dockside fire at Wellington, New Zealand threatened to spread to ''Arawa'', ''Port Pirie'', ''Rakaia'', and ''Rangitoto''.
On 16 October 1957, on a voyage between New York and Liverpool, No.8 piston rod in the engine snapped. The ship was about off Halifax at the time. The weather deteriorated, and the ship was rolling, making repairs difficult. To stabilize ''Rakaia'', it was decided to jury rig a set of sails. Tarpaulin sails were made from hatch covers. Two square sails and one staysail were erected, giving approximately of sail. The engine was reduced from eight to six cylinders, running at a maximum of 50 rpm; it took eleven days to reach Liverpool.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=JURY SAILS IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC )
On 28 December 1966, ''Rakaia'' was sold to the Federal Steam Navigation Co, remaining under the management of the New Zealand Shipping Co. Her last voyage as a cadet training ship ended on 28 March 1968.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=M.V. “RAKAIA”, NEW ZEALAND SHIPPING COMPANY LIMITED )〕 ''Rakaia'' was sold to the Lee Sing Company, Hong Kong in August 1971 for scrapping.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RAKAIA / EMPIRE ABERCORN 1945 )
