SS Mechanician
A scan from a little photograph in my collection. Cargo ship built in 1900 by Workman, Clark of Belfast for Liverpool owners T&J Harrison. It was requisitioned by the Admiralty and converted to an armed escort ship only to be torpedoed by UB-35 off St Catherine's Point, Isle of Wight, on 20 January 1918 (although a note written on the back of the print gives the date as the 27th). Thirteen lives were lost.
