SS Westernland

Passenger and Ocean Liner Vessels

SS Westernland was a transatlantic ocean liner launched as Regina by Harland and Wolff at its Govan yard in Glasgow on 19 April 1917 and delivered on 26 October 1917 to the British and North Atlantic Steam Navigation Company of the International Mercantile Marine Company. She had three screws, with a pair of four-cylinder triple-expansion steam engines driving the outer two and exhaust steam powering a low-pressure turbine on the middle one, giving 16 knots. She arrived at the Belfast yard in August 1920 for completion as an ocean liner, gaining a second funnel and berths for 2,300 passengers. Renamed Westernland in 1929, she sailed on the Antwerp to New York route for the Red Star Line and was registered in the United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands. She served as a troop ship, repair ship and destroyer depot ship in the Second World War and was scrapped in 1947.
