WARWICKSHIRE (Bibby Line)
Passenger liner built by Harland & Wolff, Belfast, that entered service for Bibby Line in 1902. She remained on the Burma service throughout WW1 but on 10/4/1918 was struck by a torpedo off Bizerta, Tunisia, which went straight through her bow, despite which she safely made port. In 1927 she was rebuilt as a cargo only ship and given telescopic masts and a collapsible funnel so that she could transit the Manchester Ship Canal. Broken up in Japan in 1932.
