The Merchant Navy Memorial

This page includes basic information about the ships and how they were lost, a photo of the relevant panel(s) of the Tower Hill Memorial and information about those that lost their lives extracted from the CWGC database. In the table I have included information about those who served on the ships but who had a normal burial as this seems appropriate to me. In some cases further family information about the individuals may be available on the CWGC website [7].

Northumbria (1906)

Northumbria was a 4,215 GRT steam cargo ship completed in 1906 by Northumberland Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. for Westminster Shipping Co. Ltd. She sank on 9 January 1919 after striking two mines in the North Sea off Scarborough. She was en route from Baltimore to Sunderland.

The following account is from The Times [59] of 11 January 1919:

STEAMER MINED IN THE NORTH SEA

The steamer NORTHUMBRIA, of London, Baltimore for Sunderland, struck two mines in the North Sea off Middlesbrough early on Thursday morning, and sank. The crew got clear away in the boat before the vessel went down, but were driven north by a strong wind. In the evening signals of distress were observed, and were responded to by the Newton Life S aving Apparatus Brigade, who proceeded along the coast to render assistance.

Nothing, however, could be traced, but on their return to Newton beach a ship’s lifeboat was found washed up with two men alive in it. Twelve bodies of the crew were later washed ashore on the North, Northumberland coast. The vessel had a crew of between 50 and 60 hands. There were originally 17 men adrift in the lifeboat washed ashore at Newton, and only two are alive: three of the 17 men, including the pilot, are missing. Nothing is known of the remainder of the crew. The NORTHUMBRIA was a steel screw steamer, of 4,215 tons gross, owned by the Westminster Shipping Company (Limited), of London.
