Lot Essay

The turret-decked steel screw cargo steamer Silverdale was built and engined by Willaim Doxford & Sons Ltd. at Sunderland in 1906. Owned by Weardale Steam Shipping Company, she was registered in Sunderland at 3,835 tons gross (2,440 net) and measured 350½ feet in length with a 50 foot beam. After a relatively short service life, she was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U-35 off the Tunisian coast on 9th March 1918 when outward bound from Port Said.
