SHIP 005

 
Caption
The Maureen, biggest and best of the Londonderry fleet, entering dock in the 1930's. Built in 1904, she became HM transport 613 during WW1 then came back to Seaham until scrapped in 1935. The first of the Londonderry Fleet was the SS Londonderry in 1857, the twelfth and last was the Maureen. Some of the bigger steamships had to trade out of Sunderland prior to 1905 as the old South Dock could not accommodate ships over 1000 tons.
