SS Tamaroa
SS ''Sophocles'' was a 12,300-ton ocean liner of the Aberdeen Line launched in 1921, and later sold to the Shaw, Savill & Albion Line. Ship history ''Sophocles'' was built at the Harland and Wolff yard in Belfast. She and her sister ship SS ''Diogenes'', like other Aberdeen Line ships were conceived primarily as cargo vessels.
