TrSS Immingham was a passenger and cargo vessel built for the Great Central Railway in 1906.[1]

History

The ship was built by Swan Hunter of Wallsend and launched on 8 May 1906. She was one of an order for two ships, the other being Marylebone.

She was requisitioned in 1915 by the Admiralty for Royal Navy use as a stores carrier and renamed HMS Immingham. She sank on 6 June 1915 after a collision with the boom defence vessel HMS Reindeer in the Mediterranean Sea.[2]
