History

Hebble was built by William Dobson and Company in Walker Yard for the Goole Steam Shipping Company Limited [3] and launched on 7 July 1891.

Hebble was obtained by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1905.

On 12 August 1908, Hebble was damaged in a collision with the Yarmouth steamer Armourer in the Humber estuary. [4]

Hebble was requisitioned by the Admiralty in the World War I. She struck a mine and sank in the North Sea 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) east of Roker, County Durham ( 54°55′N1°18′W / 54.917°N 1.300°W / 54.917; -1.300 ), England, with the loss of five of her crew. [5]

Associated Humber Lines (AHL) was created in 1935 to manage the services of various railway controlled shipping lines including port activities in the Humber area of the United Kingdom. The ownership of the respective vessels did not transfer to A.H.L and similarly the ports concerned, Hull, Goole and Grimsby, also remained under the control of the railway companies and their successors.
