SS ''Georgia'' was an oil tanker lost at Haisborough Sands off the coast of Norfolk, England in November 1927. ==History== The ship began as hull No. 82 in the shipyard of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company of Newport News, Virginia in the United States of America. She was ordered in 1907 by the Texas Co. Inc. of Port Arthur, Texas, U.S.A. She was first given the name ''Texas''. She was delivered on 18 July 1908 and she successfully made her maiden voyage without incident. She was soon renamed and became the SS ''Georgia''. In February 1918, while owned by the Texas Oil Company (Texaco) of New York City, the ship was inspected for possible United States Navy service and assigned the registry ID 2316. Though the Navy ordered her acquisition, this action was cancelled shortly before 11 November 1918 Armistice brought World War I's fighting to an end, and she remained in commercial service. In 1922 it was reported that the ship's name had been changed to SS ''Texaco''. She then passed into new ownership and was again renamed back to SS ''Georgia''. Her new owners were the M.V. Dutch Tanker & Oil Company Ltd., of Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. Her home port was now Rotterdam. 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 Georgia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
