SS Suffolk (1899)

The SS Suffolk was a British steamship built in 1899 by Harland and Wolff in Belfast for the White Star Line. She was one of six "C-class" liners, primarily intended for service on the Australian route. These ships were designed to carry both passengers and cargo, including refrigerated goods. The Suffolk, along with her sister ships, played a vital role in connecting Britain with its colonies and facilitating trade. She offered accommodation for passengers in both first and third class. During her career, the Suffolk served in various roles, including as a troop transport during wartime. Her service life extended into the 20th century, eventually being sold and possibly renamed before being scrapped. Specific details regarding her later career and ultimate fate are less readily available compared to her early years with the White Star Line.
