SS Duchess of York (1928)
SS ''Duchess of York'' was a 20,021 ton ocean liner operated by the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company. Built in 1928 in Clydebank by the shipbuilders John Brown & Company, she was originally intended to be named ''Duchess of Cornwall''. However agreement was reached with Red Funnel company to swap names with the latter's paddle steamer ''Duchess of York'', launched in 1896.〔Adams R B. () Red Funnel and Before, Kingfisher Publications〕
She was sunk in 1943 off Spain after being damaged by long range German bombers.
==Pre-war service==
''Duchess of York'' was one of the several sturdy Canadian Pacific liners which were known as "Drunken Duchesses" for their lively performance in heavy seas.〔Buchan, William. (1982) ( ''John Buchan: a Memoir,'' p. 224. )〕 She was built as a sister ship to the SS ''Duchess of Bedford'', the SS ''Duchess of Atholl'', and the SS ''Duchess of Richmond''. The vessel was created for transatlantic service;〔Ships List: ( Canadian Pacific fleet, SS ''Duchess of York'' )〕 and she was employed on the Liverpool to Quebec and Montreal route. During the winter months when the St. Lawrence was frozen (typically November to April), she sailed to Saint John, New Brunswick.
Her first captain between 1929 and 1934 was Ronald Niel Stuart, VC whose impressive First World War service record entitled him to fly the Blue Ensign whilst he was aboard. Following his departure, the liner was employed briefly on the New York CIty to Bermuda route before returning to her original passage.
