SS Millbank or written as SS Millbanke was a 1865 built British steamer. The ship weighed 548 BRT. Its home port was Sunderland. The ship was owned by R.M. Hudson. The captain of the ship was Smith. In November 1866 the ship wrecked at the Netherlands. The crew was saved by another ship.
Ship details
The ship weighed 548 BRT. The engine room included a large 2-cylinder compound steam engine and two Scottish boilers, each with two fire passages. The ship had a four-bladed iron propeller of around 3.5 meters in diameter.[1][2]
The ship had several skull blocks and corve nails in the railing, indicating that it was also a sailing ship.[1]
Fate
From 12 November 1866 she was with Captain Smith on voyage from Cronstadt to London with a cargo of flour and wool.[3] On 14 November 1866 she wrecked at Vlieland, the Netherlands. The crew was saved by ship “Thomas” of captain Thiis, from Norway bound for Hull.[4]
Cargo
In The first few days 60 bales of wheat flour and four bales of wool came on shore.[3] Also a box marked Millbank came in shore.[1]
On 11 December 1866, a large sale took place on Vlieland, including 226 bales of flour and 18 bales of wool, lying in the warehouse on Vlieland and 49 bales of flour and 7 bales of wool lying in the warehouse on Terschelling. A subsequent sale of the wreck took place on 19 June 1867 on Vlieland, including its 110 hp engine and the salvaged rigging such as sails, ropes, chains, blocks and water barrels.[1]
According to papers in the Terschelling municipal archives much of the cargo was pushed back. In December 1867, 42 bags of flour were found at C.W. Kramer in Urk. The mayor of Vlieland knew the names of people who were illegally in possession of cargo, but did nothing with this information.[1]
Wreck and salvage
In 1986, a diving team from Terschelling dived on the wreck. They described many details of the ship. The bow was broken and was lying on its side. At the stern, the rudder stock was rising meters above the bottom.[1]
Later, divers from Vlieland demolished the wreck further. The anchor of the ship was salvaged in 1994 and is located in front of the Vlielander Strandhotel.[1]
From September 2013 the wreck was salvaged.[5][6]
