Builder: C.S Swan & Hunter
Country: United Kingdom
Route: Liverpool – St John's (6.7 days)
Total construction cost: £145,000 ($23 million today)
Laid down: September 4th 1903
Launched: June 10th 1905
Maiden voyage: August 1st 1906
Identification: CLPO
In service: August 1st 1906
Out of service: January 9th 1913
Fate: Sunk by collision with an iceberg on January 9th 1913
Tonnage: 3,200 GRT
Displacement: 4,500 tons
Length: 68 meters (223.09 feet)
Beam: 11 meters (36.1 feet)
Height: 34 meters (111.5 feet)
Decks: 5 (Boat deck, A, B, C, and orlop/tank top)
Funnels: 1
Watertight compartments: 3
Installed power: One single-ended boiler and 2 small reciprocating steam engines. 1,800 horsepower or 1,350 kilowatts
Propulsion: Twin propellers
Speed: 13 knots (24.1 kilometers per hour or 15 miles per hour)
Capacity: 200 passengers (First and steerage), 100 crew. 300 people total
Lore: The SS Culpeo left Liverpool on January 2, 1913, carrying 300 people to Newfoundland. After six uneventful days, the crew spotted an iceberg late on January 8. Despite trying to turn, the ship struck the iceberg, tearing open its hull. Water quickly flooded the ship.
The captain ordered distress calls and launched the lifeboats. Most passengers escaped safely while the crew worked to keep the ship running. At 1:18 AM on January 9, the SS Culpeo sank beneath the Atlantic.
A rescue ship arrived after sunrise and picked up the survivors. 278 people survived, while 22 lost their lives, mostly crew members and passengers trapped below deck. The disaster led to improved safety measures on Cunard's smaller ships, and the wreck is believed to rest southeast of Newfoundland.
