SS Roanoke
SS ''Roanoke'' (1882-1916) was a passenger and cargo ship built by John Roach & Sons in Chester, Pennsylvania. The ''Roanoke'' was built for the Old Dominion Steamship Company's service from New York to Norfolk Virginia. In 1898 the ship was sold to the North American Transportation and Trading Company to take miners, supplies and gold between Seattle and ports in Alaska. Later the ''Roanoke'' was sold to the Oregon-based North Pacific Steamship Company. In 1907, the ''Roanoke'' helped to rescue the survivors of her former running mate ''Columbia''. On May 9, 1916, the ''Roanoke'' sank in heavy seas off the California coast near San Luis Obispo with the loss of 47 lives. There were only three survivors.
==Construction==
The ''Roanoke'' was built at the Delaware River Iron Ship Building and Engine Works of John Roach & Sons in Chester, Pennsylvania. The ship was delivered to the Old Dominion Steamship Company in March 1882, and given the name previously held by a side-wheel paddle steamer in service with the New York and Virginia Steamship Company. The earlier ''Roanoke'' had been built around 1851, and served as a troop carrier for the Union Army in the Civil War. It then ran on a commercial route from New York to Havana and New Orleans, but was captured by Confederate privateers and destroyed. The Old Dominion took over the New York and Virginia line in 1862, and resurrected the name ''Roanoke'' for one of its new iron steamers.
