SS ''Imo''〔The ship had been named with the initials – JMO – after the senior owner of the company, Johan Martin Osmundsen (aka Jurgens M. Osmond), but people started calling her ''Imo'' and the name stuck. Source: ''Methods of Disaster Research'' by Robert A. Stallings (International Research Committee on Disasters ©2002), pp. 281–282.〕 was a steamship that served in passenger and freight trades and later as a whaling supply ship. Christened , she was bought, sold and renamed numerous times during her career. In 1917, ''Imo'' was under Norwegian registry chartered by the Belgian Relief Commission to bring supplies to war-ravaged Europe. On 6 December, she was involved in a collision in Halifax Harbour with a French munitions vessel, , laden with a full cargo of highly volatile explosives. The resultant fire aboard ''Mont Blanc'' caused a catastrophic explosion that levelled the Richmond District in the North End of the city. (see Halifax Explosion). Though ''Imo''s superstructure was severely damaged by the blast, the ship was repaired and returned to service in 1918. She was named ''Guvernøren'' in 1920〔() The Ships List.〕 but ran aground off the Falkland Islands on 30 November 1921 and abandoned on 3 December.
==Early career==
Launched in 1889 as ''Runic'' for the White Star Line, she served as a cargo liner, designed to carry 12 passengers in addition to freight, mostly livestock. She was sold in May 1895 to the West Indies and Pacific Steamship Line and renamed ''Tampican''. ''Tampican'' was transferred with the rest of the company's fleet to Frederick Leyland & Co. on 31 December 1899. She was sold in 1912 to H. E. Moss & Co., of Liverpool, but was almost immediately resold, to the Norwegian whaling firm, the Southern Pacific Whaling Company to serve as a whaling supply ship. Renamed ''Imo'' by the new owners, she operated out of the port of Christiana, Norway.
