White Star Hull Numbers

[tom blackburn]

I came across a cabinet photo of the engineering group at Harland & Wolff probably 20's-30's and has a hull number of 955 on the engine section. Trying to find out what ship this was and the date of construction. Several men in the photo can be traced to having worked on the Olympic and Titanic. Some of the men appear to be in their 40's and 50's.

According to Shipbuilders to the World, H&W yard number 955 was assigned to the 10,984 ton McIlwraith McEachern & Co. passenger ship Kanimbla, launched 12 December 1935 and delivered 26 April 1936.
