SS Belgravia (1881)

SS Belgravia was an ocean liner of the Anchor Line, built in Glasgow Scotland by D. & W. Henderson Ltd. and launched in December 1881.

Belgravia was primarily designed for the immigrant trade and had a capacity of around 1,600 passengers mostly in steerage.

Her career ended in 1896 when she ran aground on May 22 shortly after departing from Saint John, New Brunswick in heavy fog.

Despite the efforts of several tugs the ship could not be moved from Saints Rest Beach, and was subsequently declared a total loss.

Her captain, William Laird, accepted responsibility for the accident and had his master's certificate suspended for three months.
