SS Alba was a Panamanian-registered ship owned by Burger B. that sank off St Ives in Cornwall, England on 31 January 1938.

Alba was seeking shelter from rough seas driven by a northwesterly gale and her captain, Joseph Horvath,[1] guided her into St Ives Bay.

[3] Two of the crew, named as engineers Ernest Stipanovi and Gyula Szabo, are commemorated on a plaque in Barnoon cemetery.

[2][4] At the inquest it was asserted that the Godrevy Lighthouse shone less brightly since its recent conversion to an unmanned light, the implication being that this might have contributed to the accident.

[citation needed] Alfred Wallis painted several versions of Wreck of the Alba, one of which is held by Tate St Ives.
