SS Marylebone (1906)

SS Marylebone was a passenger and cargo vessel built for the Great Central Railway in 1906.

[1] The ship was built by Cammell Laird of Birkenhead and launched in 1906.

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

In 1923 she passed to the London and North Eastern Railway and was sold in 1932 to the Tramp Shipping Development Company.

Two notable paintings exist of the Marylebone, one by George Race as a triple-screw steamer, circa 1906, in the collection of the Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre, and one by A.J.
