Re: [TSL] Duke of Norfolk 1900 (+ Hercules 1830s; Lord Hungerford 1840s; Alfred 1840s)

Hello Pam,

Yes, this was the SS Duke of Norfolk. She was 3,819 gross tons, built 1889 
by Hawthorn Leslie & Co, Newcastle as the Nairnshire for Turnbull, Martin & 
Co, Glasgow. In 1898 she was sold to the Ducal Line (J. B.. Westray & Co), 
Glasgow and renamed Duke of Norfolk. 27th Jul.1898 started first voyage 
London via Suez to Brisbane. Last voyage 10th Sep.1902. The company then 
went into liquidation and the remaining ships were transferred to Gray, 
Dawes & Co. In 1905 the Duke of Norfolk was sold to C. Andersen, Hamburg and 
renamed Marcellus. 1908 sold to Sweden renamed Johanna, 1914 sold to Greece 
renamed Pericles. On 24th May 1914 she sank 90 miles off Ushant after 
striking submerged wreckage on voyage Swansea - Alexandria with coal.

The others were sailing vessels.

Sorry but I can find no photos of these ships - perhaps the Australian 
National Maritime Museum can help?

regards
Ted
