SS Grampian was a transatlantic ocean liner that was built in Scotland in 1907 and scrapped in the Netherlands in 1925.
In 1907 Alexander Stephen and Sons built a pair of sister ships for Allan Line in Linthouse, Glasgow.
[8] In the First World War, Grampian remained in commercial service, but carried members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force from Canada to Europe.
[10] Grampian remained in Allan Line ownership, and registered in Glasgow, but was now managed by Canadian Pacific.
Early on the evening of July 9 she was in fog about 45 nautical miles (83 km) off Cape Race, Newfoundland when she sighted an iceberg.
But the damage did not extend below her waterline, and the iceberg was prevented from scraping down the side of her hull, which could have ruptured enough watertight compartments to sink her.
[12][13][14] Grampian's passengers were transferred to RMS Empress of Britain to complete their journey to Liverpool.
Grampian was given a temporary timber bow to enable her to reach a port she could receive permanent repairs.
