SS Malines

TSS Malines was a passenger vessel built for the Great Eastern Railway in 1921 by Armstrong Whitworth and Company at High Walker, launched on 6 January 1921 by Mrs John Kenneth Foster. She was a sister ship of Antwerp and Bruges, which had begun the Harwich to Antwerp service in 1920, and made her maiden voyage to Antwerp on 21 March 1922. The Great Eastern Railway passed to the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923. She collided with the tanker Hanseat in 1932, sank the Swedish steamer Jamaica in a collision off Flushing in 1933 and was in a collision with the Dutch vessel Almkirk in 1936. Requisitioned in 1940 as HMS Malines, she was torpedoed by German aircraft and beached near Port Said in July 1942.
