SS Woodville
The 2,500-ton steamship ''Woodville'' was built in 1892 for Woodville SS Co Ltd (Balls & Stansfield) of North Shields. She was then sold during World War I to the Southern Whaling & Sealing Company, Liverpool.
She was one of three ships bought by the African and Eastern Trade Corporation in 1924. She was sold to Greek owners BJ Andreadakis & A Stavridis, (Piraeus) in 1927, shortly before African and Eastern merged with the Royal Niger Company to form United Africa Company (UAC).
In March 1922, Leonard Hussey accompanied the body of Ernest Shackleton from Montevideo to South Georgia for burial at Grytviken, aboard ''Woodville''.
Whilst under her latest name of SS ''Volgas'' and with a Greek flag, she ran aground on the small Greek island of Milos in the Aegean Sea on 11 January 1937. She came ashore near Paximadi light house, southwest of Milos Island on a voyage from Mersin to Hamburg with a cargo of grain. Salvage was abandoned on 16 January and she was declared a total loss.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=WreckSite )〕
