The SS Clan Macneil was a British cargo steamer of the Clan Line. She was built by the Ayrshire Dockyard, Irvine, North Ayrshire and launched on 1 December 1921. As with the majority of the ships of the Clan Line, she was named after a Scottish clan, in this case Clan MacNeil.
Clan Macneil collided with the Belgian cargo ship SS Princess Marie Jose on 8 August 1937 in the North Sea off Dunkerque, Nord, France. Princess Marie Jose beached herself there to avoid sinking and was refloated on 10 August.[1]
Clain Macneil served during the Second World War and was scrapped at Port Glasgow in May 1952.
