SS Immingham (1906)

TrSS Immingham was a passenger and cargo vessel built for the Great Central Railway in 1906.

The Parsons steam turbines of Immingham and Marylebone were direct-drive units that proved uneconomic, and both vessels were soon rebuilt as single-screw steamships with the funnels of each reduced in number from two to one.

She was requisitioned in 1915 by the Admiralty for Royal Navy use as a stores carrier and renamed HMS Immingham.

She sank on 6 June 1915 after a collision with the boom defence vessel HMS Reindeer in the Mediterranean Sea.
