SS Dwinsk was a transatlantic ocean liner launched in Ireland in 1897 as Rotterdam, renamed C. F. Tietgen in 1906 and Dwinsk in 1913. Harland and Wolff built her at Belfast as yard number 312 on slipway number 9, the first ship the yard built for Holland America Line, laying her keel on 16 May 1896, launching her on 18 February 1897 and completing her on 29 July 1897. She measured 8,139 gross register tons and had twin screws, each driven by a three-cylinder triple-expansion steam engine, rated together at 954 nominal horsepower and giving 15 knots. She was owned in turn by Holland America Line, Scandinavian America Line and Russian American Line, and after the Russian Revolution she was managed by Cunard Line. On 18 June 1918 a U-boat sank her on a voyage from Brest to the United States, with the loss of 23 lives.
