SS Empire Airman (1941)

The SS Empire Airman was a British cargo ship built in 1941 by William Hamilton & Company, Port Glasgow, Scotland, for the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT). She was part of the "Empire" series of ships, vessels acquired or constructed by the British government during World War II to replenish the country's merchant fleet, heavily depleted by enemy action. These ships were typically named with the prefix "Empire."

The SS Empire Airman served primarily as a supply ship, transporting essential materials and goods during the war, contributing to the Allied war effort. Like many of the Empire ships, she was managed by a commercial shipping company on behalf of the MoWT. Detailed specifics of her wartime service, including specific routes and cargoes, can be found in historical records and maritime archives. Following the war, she likely continued in commercial service before being eventually scrapped or lost at sea, though specific details about her later life and fate require further research for complete accuracy. Information on crew manifests, voyages, and any incidents involving the vessel during her service life can be found in relevant historical records.
