SS ''Chenab'' was a steamship built for the Nourse Line in 1911 by Cammell Laird and Company Limited of Birkenhead. She had a 425 NHP triple expansion steam engine driving a single screw. Like other Nourse Line ships, she was primarily used for the transportation of Indian indentured labourers to the colonies. Details of some of these voyages are as follows: ''Chenab'' was sold in 1930 to the Khedivial Mail Line of Alexandria, and in 1931 resold to the ''Cie de Navigation Libano-Syrienne'' of Beirut and renamed ''Ville de Beyrouth''. By 1936 she owned by the ''Societe Orientale de Navigation'' of Beirut, and in 1939 was renamed ''Al Rawdah''. In 1940 the ship was requisitioned by the British Ministry of War Transport, serving as under the management of the British India Steam Navigation Company. ''Al Rawdah'' was moored in Strangford Lough near Killyleagh in 1940, and was used as a prison ship for Irish republican internees. By early 1945 ''Al Rawdah'' was stationed in Holy Loch being used as an accommodation ship attached to the 3rd Submarine Flotilla. She was returned to the Khedivial Mail Line in 1946, and was finally scrapped at Rosyth in 1953.〔 ==See also== * Indian indenture ships to Fiji * Indian indenture system 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SS Chenab」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
