The "Taormina" was an iron built ship, launched by A.Stephen & Sons of Glasgow on 12.3.1884 for the German Sloman Line which later became the Union Line. She was a vessel of 2422 gross tons, length 320ft x beam 38.7ft, straight stem, one funnel, three masts, single screw and a speed of 11 knots. Accommodation for 600-3rd class passengers only. She made her maiden voyage from Hamburg to New York on 14.7.1886. and continued on this service until leaving Hamburg on her last trip on 13.3.1901. In 1911 she became the Italian "Taormin" and on 18.1.1917. was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine UC.16, 60 miles from Fowey, Cornwall.
