Woolton (ship)

The Woolton was a cargo ship built for the Ministry of War Transport during the Second World War. She was one of the "Park" ships, vessels managed by the Canadian Government under the British Merchant Shipping Act. These ships were named after Canadian parks.

Specifically, the Woolton was a "North Sands" type cargo ship, a standardized design built in numerous shipyards to replace losses suffered by the Allied merchant navies. These vessels were vital for supplying Britain and its allies with food and raw materials.

Following the war, the Woolton was sold into commercial service and renamed. Specific details of her later service life, including owners, cargoes, and ultimate fate, require further research as multiple ships with similar names or roles existed during this period.
