SS ''Derwent'' was a passenger and freight vessel built for the Goole Steam Shipping Company in 1888. ==History== The ship was built by William Dobson and Company in Walker Yard for the Goole Steam Shipping Company and launched on 12 June 1888. The engines were manufactured by the ''Wallsend Slipway and Engineering Company'', and she was constructed under the supervision of Mr Sisson, the inspecting engineer for the Goole Company. On 19 September 1898 she was hit by her sister ship ''Dresden'' which was inward bound to Goole. In 1905 she was acquired by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. In October 1908 she was in collision with the British brigantine ''Enterprise'' of Folkestone, and caused her to sink. All hands on the ''Enterprise'' bar one were lost. On 28 August 1912 she was anchored midstream in Goole waiting to enter the lock, when a strong southerly wind caused her to sheer into her sister ship which was outbound with a full cargo of coal. The Derwent’s anchor chain became caught in the ''Ralph Creyke''’s propeller and her engines were stopped. The accident required the ''Ralph Creyke'' to be dry-docked to remove the chain. In 1922 she was acquired by the London and North Western Railway and one year later by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. She was scrapped in 1931 by T Young in Sunderland. 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 Derwent (1888)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
