SS Wandle (1932)
SS ''Wandle'' was a British coastal collier owned and operated by the proprietors of Wandsworth gas works in south-west London. She was a flatiron, meaning that she had a low-profile superstructure, hinged funnel, hinged or telescopic mast and folding wheelhouse to enable her to pass under low bridges on the tidal River Thames upriver from the Pool of London. She was in service from 1932 to 1959〔 and survived a number of enemy attacks in the Second World War.
==Namesakes==
SS ''Wandle'' was named after the River Wandle, which flows through much of district that Wandsworth gas works then served and joins the Thames at Wandsworth near the company's gas works and headquarters. She was the third flatiron of the same name in the service of the same owners.〔Central Office of Information, 1947, pages 53–54〕 The first was built in 1909 and survived an engagement with a U-boat in 1916. The second was built in 1922 and sold to Stephenson Clarke and Associates in 1932.〔
In the Second World War ''Wandle''s Master was G.A.W. Mastin, whose father G.E.A. Mastin had commanded the first SS ''Wandle'' when she repulsed a U-boat attack in 1916.〔
