From the Gait family album.

SS ‘Immingham’ was a passenger and cargo vessel built in 1906 by Swan Hunter of Wallsend for the Great Central Railway. She was built for the Grimsby-Rotterdam service. She was later rebuilt and had only one funnel.

SS ‘Immingham’ was requisitioned by the Admiralty in 1915 for use as a stores carrier and was renamed HMS ‘Immingham’. She sank in the Mediterranean Sea in June 1915 following a collision with HMS ‘Reindeer’.
