SS Stanwood
SS ''Stanwood'' was a British collier that was sunk off Falmouth in December 1939 after her cargo of coal caught fire.
==Ship history==
The ship was built in 1915 by the ''Reiherstieg Schiffswerfte & Maschinenfabrik'' shipyard in Hamburg, Germany, as the ''Itajahy'' on behalf of the ''Hamburg-Sudamerikanische Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft'' ("Hamburg-South America Line"), but was requisitioned by the German Navy. In 1919 she was handed over to the UK as war reparations. She was owned by Elder Dempster & Company until 1921, when she was sold to R.P. Houston & Company, and renamed ''Hesione''. In 1937 she was sold to the Stanhope Steamship Company and renamed ''Stanwood''.
On 10 December 1939 the ''Stanwood''s cargo of coal caught fire. The ship was scuttled in of water in Carrick Roads in order to extinguish the fire, with intention of then raising her. Unfortunately she slipped into deeper waters, and the crew abandoned her with the loss of one man. Attempts to refloat her were unsuccessful although her cargo was recovered. Deemed a hazard to shipping the wreck was later broken up with explosives.
The wreck remains popular with divers, though permission must first be obtained from the harbour master.
