SS Cameronia (1911)
The SS ''Cameronia'' was a twin propeller triple-expansion 15,600 IHP passenger steamship. She was owned by the Glasgow-based Anchor Line and built by D. and W. Henderson and Company at Glasgow in 1911. The ship provided a transatlantic service from Glasgow to various destinations.
The ''Cameronia'' sailed on her maiden voyage for the Anchor Line company on 13 September 1911 on the Glasgow - Mowville - New York route. In February 1915, the ''Cameronia'' was employed in a joint Anchor-Cunard company service on the Glasgow - Liverpool - New York route.〔:File:SS Cameronia Manifest - ship sunk in 1917 by German U-boat near Malta.jpg〕
On 21 June 1915 while inbound in the mouth of the Mersey the ''Cameronia'' was attacked by a U-boat. Captain Kinnaird turned to ram the U-boat which was forced to dive and then broke off her attack.〔New York Times, 22 June 1915〕
The ''Cameronia was'' torpedoed on 15 April 1917 by the German U-boat while en route from Marseille, France to Alexandria, Egypt.
