HISORY
The SS Crown of Scotland, launched in 1898 by the Halifax Graving Dock Company, entered service with the Canadian Crown Line as one of its earliest fast transatlantic liners, powered by twin Scotch boilers feeding triple-expansion engines. Beginning her Southampton–Halifax–New York route in 1899, she astonished the industry by capturing the Blue Riband for the fastest westbound crossing, a title she held until Cunard’s Lusitania and later Mauretania surpassed her in 1907. Small but remarkably swift at over 23 knots, she became a respected passenger carrier before being requisitioned in 1915 for brief naval service as a Canadian troop transport. Returned to civilian duty the next year, she continued crossings until August 9th, 1917, when an enemy torpedo struck Boiler Room No. 2 and the engine room in the English Channel. The Crown of Scotland foundered quickly; her wreck remains undiscovered, though 34 of the 59 aboard survived.
