SS Camorta was an iron-hulled passenger steamship that was built in Scotland in 1880, and lost with all hands in the Irrawaddy Delta in 1902.
However, all of her owners and operators were owned or controlled by the British India Steam Navigation Company (BI).
[1] Her sister ship Compta was built as yard number 161, launched on 2 February 1881, and completed on 4 March.
Camorta's original owners were Archibald Gray and Edwyn Dawes,[1] who were BI's London agents.
[6] In 1883 BI transferred Camorta and Compta to its Nederlandsch-Indische Stoomvaart-Maatschappij (NISM, meaning "Dutch Indies Steamship Company") subsidiary, which it had founded in 1866 to operate a mail contract for the Netherlands Government.
[9][10] On 17 October 1885 Camorta collided with the Glen Line cargo ship Glenfruin in Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong.
On 6 May a cyclone sank her with all hands between the Krishna Lightvessel and the Alguada reef[15] when she was crossing the Baragua Flats in the Gulf of Martaban.
