Remarks
SS Londonderry was a passenger vessel built for the Midland Railway in 1904 and used the company owned port of Heysham to connect with Belfast. She was requisitioned by the Admiralty in 1914 and used to connect channel ports with France.
In 1923 she was taken over by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway when they acquired the Midland Railway. In 1927 they sold her to Société Anonyme de Gérance et d'Armement who renamed her Flamand, before she was scrapped in 1937 - broken up at Kohlbrandwerft Paul Berendsohn, Altenwerder, Germany
