Remembered Today:

Troopship IMMINGHAM

Does anyone have any information on troop transport IMMINGHAM, lost I believe in 1915? She does not appear in LLOYDs, so she must have been lost in an accident or other non combat incident.

Thank you.

Don,

The Ships List has her as a vessel of the Great Central Railway of 2009 grt, built 1906 and sunk in 1915 in a collision with SS Reindeer at Lemnos.

Best wishes,

Michael

Don,

Should have looked BVLAS first: the collission was on June 6, 1915 "off Mudros." Immingham is listed as a store carrier of 2,083 grt.

Best wishes,

Michael

Hi,

Interestingly the Immingham is listed on the site below as a submarine destroyed on 12.10.1918 / Lt Manley.

Sank after a collision with a destroyer when her main motors failed. Crew rescued, CO and 1st Lt made a "free ascent" escape from the wreck
