RMS Lady Nelson
RMS ''Lady Nelson'' was a steam turbine ocean liner which served in passenger service from 1928 to 1968 and operated as wartime hospital ship from 1943 to 1945. One of a class of five sister ships popularly known as "Lady Boats", she was built for the Canadian National Steamship Company (CNS). The five vessels were Royal Mail Ships that CNS operated from Halifax, Nova Scotia and the Caribbean ''via'' Bermuda. ''Lady Nelson'' was sold to Egyptian owners in 1953 and served as ''Gumhuryat Misr'' and ''Alwadi'' until she was scrapped in 1968.
==Building and peacetime service==
''Lady Nelson'' was built in 1928 by Cammell Laird of Birkenhead, on the Wirral in England, the same builder for all five ''Lady'' class liners. Like her sisters ''Lady Nelson'' was an oil-burner, with a set of four Cammell Laird steam turbines driving the propeller shafts to her twin screws by single-reduction gearing. She had three passenger decks, and by 1931 she was equipped with a direction finding device.
CN introduced the liners which became known as "Lady Boats" for mail, freight and passenger traffic between Canada, Bermuda and the Caribbean. ''Lady Nelson'' along with and were designed for service to eastern islands of the British West Indies and had larger passenger capacity but lesser cargo capacity than and who were built for service to western islands.〔, p. 16〕 The hulls of all the Lady Boats were painted white, which then was a relatively new fashion among shipping companies, and confined largely to passenger ships serving tropical or sub-tropical destinations.
''Lady Nelson'' sailed fortnightly between Halifax and British Guiana ''via'' Boston, Bermuda, the Leeward Islands, the Windward Islands and Barbados. In summer the route was extended to the Montreal. CN named each of its five new liners after the wife of an English or British admiral who was noted for his actions in the Caribbean. ''Lady Nelsons namesake was Frances Nelson, wife of the famous Royal Navy Admiral Horatio Nelson.
