Cromartyshire

On July 04, 1898 in dense morning fog the Cromartyshire collided with the SS La Bourgoyne. The La Bourgoyne sank with the loss of 549 lives.

In 1900 this vessel carried a cargo at Portland OR USA. The Cromartyshire limped into Halifax NS Canada for repairs. On September 01, 1901 while on a voyage from Leith to Port Elizabeth, she was abandoned on fire off Mossel Bay, but subsequently was salvaged. On January 18, 1906 this vessel went aground off Vlissingen (while en route Antwerp for Talcahuano). On October 24, 1906, two days after leaving Antofagasta Chile to complete loading at Iquique Chile, she went ashore and was wrecked at Tetus Point on Printabu Island.
