SS Anselm
SS ''Anselm'' was a British turbine steamship of the Booth Steamship Company. She was built as a cargo and passenger liner in 1935 and requisitioned and converted into a troop ship in 1940. A German submarine sank her in 1941, killing 254 of those aboard.
==Building and civilian service==
The Booth Steamship Company ordered ''Anselm'' for its passenger and cargo liner services between Liverpool and Brazil. William Denny and Brothers built her in their shipyard at Dumbarton on the Firth of Clyde in Scotland.
By the 1930s most British shipping companies specified oil fuel for new steamships because it was more economical. Booth, however, still specified coal because it was cheaper, and as the company's ships carried little cargo on outward voyages to South America and it considered it could afford larger coal bunkers. ''Anselm''s bunkers had capacity for 980 long tons of coal.〔〔
''Anselm'' had nine corrugated furnaces with a combined grate area of heating three single-ended Howden-Johnson water-tube boilers〔〔 with a combined heating surface of that supplied steam at 250 lbf/in2.〔 Booth had proposed a multiple-expansion steam reciprocating engine, with steam exhausted from the low-pressure cylinder then driving a low-pressure steam turbine for greater efficiency.〔 However, Denny persuaded Booth that it would be more economical to use pure turbine propulsion. Sources disagree as to whether she had three turbines or one three-stage Parsons turbine.〔〔 Either way, her power was rated at 696 NHP and drove the shaft of her single propeller ''via'' single-reduction gearing.〔
