SS Abyssinia
The ''Abyssinia'' (1870) was a British mail liner originally operated by the Cunard Line on the Liverpool–New York route. She later served the Guion Line on the same route and the Canadian Pacific Line in the Pacific. In December 1891, ''Abyssinia'' was destroyed mid-Atlantic without loss of life by a fire that started in her cargo of cotton, further highlighting the danger in carrying both cotton and passengers on the same ship.
==Development and design==
With the success of the ''Russia'' (1867), Cunard ordered a new fleet of iron express liners for the New York mail route. ''Abyssinia'' was the fourth of the five liners required for a weekly service. ''Abyssinia'' and her sister, ''Algeria'' were the first Cunard express steamers built to carry steerage passengers, a concept that was proved profitable four years earlier by the Inman Line. As completed in 1870, ''Abyssinia'' carried 200 first class passengers and 1050 steerage. She had a service speed of 12.5 knots and was a full knot slower than ''Russia''.〔 Both ''Abyssinia'' and ''Algeria'' were larger than their near sister, ''Parthia''. Unlike ''Abyssinia'' and ''Algeria'' which were built in Glasgow, ''Parthia'' had been constructed in Dumbarton.
