SS Bosnia (1898)

SS Bosnia was an Italian cargo liner built in 1898 by Gio. Ansaldo & C. at its Sestri Ponente yard in Genoa, yard number 113, for the shipping company Navigazione Generale Italiana. She measured 2,561 gross register tons, 97.9 metres between perpendiculars with a beam of 12 metres, and a single triple-expansion steam engine of 220 nominal horsepower drove one propeller shaft at a maximum of 13 knots. By 1915 she belonged to the Societa Italiana di Servizi Marittimi of Venice. In March of that year she pulled the French armoured cruiser Amiral Charner off the ground after the warship had run aground under enemy fire off Dedeagatch, Bulgaria. On 10 November 1915 the German submarine U-34 sank her with gunfire about 100 nautical miles north-northeast of Derna in Italian Libya, killing 12 of her crew while she carried general cargo.
