SS Eskmere (1916)

The SS Eskmere was a British cargo steamship built in 1916 by William Gray & Company in West Hartlepool, England. She was owned by the Esk Shipping Co. Ltd (managed by John Ridley, Son & Tully). The Eskmere primarily operated as a tramp steamer, carrying various cargoes across global trade routes during World War I and the interwar period. Records indicate she was involved in transporting goods such as coal, grain, and timber. Further details regarding her service history, including specific voyages, incidents, and ultimate fate (whether she was sunk, scrapped, or repurposed), require further research to confirm with certainty. Many ships built during this era met a variety of fates, including wartime losses or eventual decommissioning and scrapping.
