Rory Reynolds Posted 2 June , 2007 Share Posted 2 June , 2007 Hello all I am asking for help with a ship named "Maryland" which transported troops from Devonport on 8 January 1916 to Alexandria in Egypt for the Senussi campaign. Any data, pictures etc. would be appreciated. Regards Rory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historydavid Posted 3 June , 2007 Share Posted 3 June , 2007 Hello Rory, not sure whether this is the same vessel: On 16th December 1916 the SS Maryland, defensively armed, 4,731 grt, was attacked by gunfire from German U-boat U 52, W from Gibralter, Atlantic Ocean, escaped by use of gun. Best wishes David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Reynolds Posted 4 June , 2007 Author Share Posted 4 June , 2007 Thanks David I'll take my chances on it being the correct ship. Regards Rory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esskay Posted 5 June , 2007 Share Posted 5 June , 2007 Hi Rory If it was the one David suggested - this could be her (tonnage is right) http://www.geocities.com/jckinghorn/ATL/co.../41Maryland.htm There looks to have also been a Danish registered Maryland (according to the shipping details on Find My Past) but The Times of 25th August 1914 reports she had been sunk by a mine in the North Sea Cheers Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
