SS Java (1865)

SS Java was a British and French ocean liner built in 1865 at Glasgow by J. G. Thompson & Co.

One passenger, the musician Philo Adams Otis, noted:[1] In 1877, the ship was re-engined with compound engines by Fawcett, Preston & Co., Liverpool, and chartered to Warren Line, until it had been sold to Red Star Line one year later and renamed to SS Zeeland.

In 1892 it was sold again to J. Herron & Co of Liverpool and again renamed the Lord Spencer.

One account claimed it collided with the fully rigged sailing ship Prince Oscar on 13 July and sunk shortly thereafter.
