SS Hispania was a Swedish 1,323 GRT triple-expansion engine steamer built in Belgium in 1912.

In 1940, she was on a voyage from Kaolack, Senegal via Casablanca, Morocco to Bordeaux, France with a cargo of peanuts.

On 15 April 1941, Hispania was declared a war prize and ownership passed to the Kriegsmarine.

On 8 February 1942, Hispania and Sirius were ordered to sail to Rotterdam under the command of the Kriegsmarine.

The next day, a German Schnellboot (fast boat) attack left one dead and two seriously wounded.

Heading to Varberg, Sweden, from Liverpool she attempted to navigate through the Sound of Mull but hit the Sgeir More (Big Rock) and started to list.

Located in the northern aspects of the Sound of Mull, the Hispania is facing the shore and close to a red channel buoy.

Their findings determined that the ship was salvaged throughout the 1950s by Scarborough Sub-Aqua Club and since then the popularity of diving the wreck has resulted in the removal of all non-ferrous artifacts.
