SS Humber
SS ''Humber'' was a passenger and freight vessel built for the Goole Steam Shipping Company in 1903.
==History==
She was built in 1903 by A MacMillan in Dumbarton as one of a trio of ships which included SS Nidd and SS Colne. She was launched on 26 August 1903. In 1905 she came under the ownership of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.
On 9 June 1910 she was in collision with the German steamer Modena, owned by Robert M Sloman Jr. The ''Modena'' sank within 9 minutes, and the crew of the ''Humber'' managed to save all but two of the thirty crew members. For their actions, the German Emperor presented Captain Prentice with a gold watch, Chief Officer Sherwood with a pair of binoculars, and Seaman Bennett with £5. .
She sank in the mouth of the River Elbe on 12 February 1912 during a voyage from Goole to Hamburg after a collision in fog with the German vessel ''Answald''. The Answald had hit the Humber amidships, making a hole long. The crew of the ''Humber'' were rescued by the ''Answald'' which had only suffered damage to her bows.
