SS Inca

SS ''Inca'' was a steamship on Lake Titicaca.
==History==
The Peruvian Corporation, a UK-owned company, had controlled Peru's railways and lake shipping since 1890. Traffic had outstripped the capacity of the Corporation's hitherto largest lake steamer (546 tons) and ageing ''Yavari'' and ''Yapura''. Accordingly in 1904 the Corporation ordered the ''Inca'', which at 1,809 tons was by far the lake's largest ship to date.〔
Earle's Shipbuilding of Kingston upon Hull on the Humber in England built ''Inca'' as a "knock down" ship;〔 that is, they assembled her in their shipyard with bolts and nuts, marked each part with a number and then disassembled her into many hundreds of pieces and then sent her to Peru in kit form. The pieces were shipped by sea to South America and then by rail to Lake Titicaca,〔 where ''Inca'' was finally riveted together and launched. Each part had to fit within a packing crate no more than wide and high to fit within the railway's loading gauge, and weigh no more than 12 tons to be within the railway's axle loading.〔
In the 1920s Earle's supplied a new bottom for the ship, which also was delivered in kit form.〔 Traffic continued to increase so in 1929 the Corporation ordered an even larger ship from Earle's, , to work along with the ''Inca''.〔
In 1975 the Peruvian Corporation was nationalised and ''Incas ownership passed to the state railway company ENAFER.〔 She survived in serviceable condition but in 1994 ''Inca'' was scrapped.〔
