SS New Zealand
The SS New Zealand was built in 1898 by Cook Welton & Gemmell, Hull. She was owned by the Hull Steam Fishing & Ice Co Ltd. In 1916 she was requisitioned by the Admiralty as H.M.T. Hokianga (a place in New Zealand). On her return in 1920 she appears to have returned to fishing under her former name, but was scrapped in 1937. (Source: www.hulltrawler.net).
