''Talune'' has been the name of three vessels. This article refers to the first SS ''Talune'', built in 1890 and scuttled in 1925. A second SS ''Talune'' was built in 1930 for the Union Steamship company of New Zealand and sold in 1959 to Transporte de Minerales, Panama, which renamed it the ''Amos''.〔(Union Steam Ship Company ship list )〕 A motor launch named ''Talune'' was built in Hobart, Tasmania in 1914 and destroyed by fire at her moorings at Maria Island, Tasmania on 6 July 1929.〔(Encyclopaedia of Australian Shipwrecks – Tasmanian shipwrecks )〕 ==The first ''SS Talune''== The first SS ''Talune'' was a passenger and freight steamship employed in the Tasman Sea and South Seas trades in the last decade of the 19th century and the first two decades of the 20th century. It was a typical ship of its time and type in every way. It would be unknown except that it was the ship that brought the deadly 1918 Spanish flu pandemic from New Zealand to Samoa and other Pacific islands. SS (steamship) ''Talune'' was built by Ramage & Ferguson, of Leith, Scotland, for the Tasmanian Steam Navigation Company of Hobart, Tasmania, entering service with the company in 1890. It was of 2,087 tons, about 230 feet long, coal fired, and powered by a triple-expansion steam engine. It had passenger accommodation for up to 175 people〔(New Zealand Maritime Index )〕 and a crew of around 56.〔(New Zealand Maritime Index )〕 Initially the Talune was employed on the Hobart-Sydney run for its parent company. In 1891, the ship was taken over by the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand when it absorbed the Tasmanian company and its assets.〔 The ''Talune'' worked thereafter between New Zealand and Australia, and later between New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. 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 Talune」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
