SS ''Indus'' was a 3,393-ton steamship launched on 28 April 1904. Delivered to the Nourse Line in May 1904, she was the shipping company's first steamship. She was built by Charles Connell & Company Limited, Glasgow and had single screw, triple expansion, 425 nhp engines. Like other Nourse Line ships, she was primarily used for the transportation of Indian indentured labourers to the colonies. Details of some of these voyages are as follows: ''Indus'' was captured by on 10 September 1914, bound from Calcutta to Bombay for use as an Indian Expeditionary Force transport. ''Emden'' sank her by scuttling and gunfire at position after having taken onboard all her complement. Her crew were later transferred to the German collier ''Markomania''. == See also == * Indian Indenture Ships to Fiji * Indian indenture system 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 Indus (1904)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
