Glengarry
Empire Humber was a 9,677 GRT cargo ship which was built by Burmeister & Wain, Copenhagen. Launched in 1939 as Glengarry for Glen Line Ltd, London. Seized in April 1940 as a war prize by Germany. Served with the Kriegsmarine. Renamed Meerberg in October 1940. Chosen for conversion to a raider in April 1941, given the code name Schiff No 5. Intended to be armed with eight 150 mm (5.9 in), two 80 mm (3.1 in) guns, torpedo tubes an aircraft catapult and space for 150 mines. Sent to the Wilton Fijenoord shipyard in June 1941 for conversion to be carried out but still there in June 1943. Moved to Hamburg for installation of secret equipment. Still not completed by October 1943 when she was due to have entered service.

Renamed Hansa on 10 February 1944 and commissioned as a training ship. Took part in the evacuation of Revel, Estonia in September 1944. In May 1945 she embarked several thousand German troops at Hela destined for the Bay of Lübeck. These troops were still aboard when Hansa was seized as a war prize at Kiel. Hansa was ordered to Methil in June 1945. She was the only ship in the convoy of some forty ships that flew her national flag, the others all flying the flag of surrender. Hansa was considered by the Admiralty to be a war prize, but she was allocated the name Empire Humber by the MoWT. She was ordered to Rotterdam for conversion to a Combined Operations HQ ship for service in the Pacific. Empire Humber was then laid up in Southampton. Japan surrendered during her lay-up and Empire Humber was arrested on behalf of the Admiralty Marshal, the writ being nailed to the captain's cabin door. Glen Line Ltd, who were managing her for the MoWT ordered her to Gareloch. Despite the representative of the Admiralty insisting that she could not sail, she left Southampton in breach of maritime law. The issue of whether or not she was a war prize was not pursued. In 1946, Empire Humber was returned to Glen Line Ltd and renamed Glengarry. She was transferred to Ocean Steamship Co Ltd in 1970 and renamed Dardanus. She was renamed Glengarry in 1971 for her final voyage to shipbreakers at Sakaide, Japan.

BAN-RIGH
The Ban Righ was originally a British merchantman, in 1901 by a Venezuelan revolutionary committee was bought in London to the government of Cipriano Castro overthrow. In Antwerp, the steamer was with four guns equipped and in a warship converted. The crew, including the commander, Willis, consisted of mercenaries , including a French artillery - captain , who oversaw the installation of the guns on board and quasi served as an artillery officer of the Ban Righ. The name "Ban Righ" is Scottish (read: Benn Rih), meaning "The female king", ie queen.

In Martinique a revolution troops were taken on board. From late 1901 to March 1902 was operating the Ban Righ, the ("The Liberator") was now in Libertador been renamed to the Venezuelan coast and was among others the gunboat government Restaurador under the command of Román Delgado Chalbaud hunted. On 7 February 1902 shot the Libertador before La Vela de Coro, the Government gunboat General Crespo under the leadership of General Pedro Rivero Sotero to the wreck. Due to a defective boiler rebel steamer had in March 1903 Cartagena, Colombia spin up and decommissioned. Perhaps the boiler were due to bribery by the Venezuelan Consul in Cartagena by sabotage been rendered useless.

Apparently, the steamer was purchased in 1907 by the Colombian government for its navy, after he had for years rotted in the harbor in front of him, like a German Navy report states. In the UK even the equipment of the steamer was extremely critical pursued because it was assumed that it could possibly a privateer of the Boers could act with which one was at war. Also, were parallels to the CSS Alabama pulled.

The Ban Righ is one of the few examples of recent naval history in which a bought in foreign merchant ship was converted into a warship to overthrow their own government in a revolution. Well 27 years later it should be with the German steamer Falcon in Venezuela give a parallel - only this time Roman Delgado Chalbaud tried the Venezuelan government of Juan Vicente Gómez overthrow - the same Gómez, with whom he had tried the Ban Righ off.

Design and construction
Sister Anne was a steel-hulled motor yacht built during 1929. She was constructed at Gosport, Portsmouth Harbour by Camper and Nicholsons as Yard No.364 for Daisy Fellowes, the Singer Manufacturing Company heiress and wife of banker Reginald Ailwyn Fellowes.

The yacht had a length overall of 130.0 ft and length between perpendiculars of 123.2 ft, a beam of 21.5 ft and a depth of 7.2 ft. She measured and. The accommodation included an owner's suite and four guest staterooms. She was powered by a pair of 5-cylinder Gardner engines totalling 500 hp and driving twin propellers.

Sister Anne was launched on 12 June 1929. On completion she was registered at the port of Portsmouth with Official Number 160918, and allocated signal letters GTDQ.

Background and construction
Henry Bell, the pioneer of commercial passenger transport by steamboat in Europe with the paddle steamer Comet in 1812, had further developed his business. From the initial route between Glasgow and Helensburgh, he had taken Comet the the Firth of Forth, where he had then purchased the locally-built paddle steamer Stirling. Then, in 1819, he had the original Comet lengthened and re-engined for a new service between Glasgow and Fort William, near the western entrance to the Caledonian Canal which was being developed as a through water route to Inverness and the east coast. By Autumn 1820 Bell was already planning the building of a larger steamboat, with increased power, for this route, and in December he travelled to Inverness on Comet to meet investors. On her return voyage she was wrecked on 15 December in a snowstorm off Craignish Point, near Crinan.. To fill the gap, Bell's service to Fort William was operated by the 1815-built steamer Duke of Wellington.

Comet was launched in 1821 at the Dumbarton shipyard of James Lang. With a wooden hull and copper boiler, her side-paddles were powered by a one-cylinder beam engine made by D McArthur and Company at Camlachie. Comet's tonnage was 94 by Builder's Old Measurement, with length of 81 ft, beam of 13 ft and depth of 9 ft.

= Britannia (1815 steamship) =

Design and construction
The paddle steamer Britannia was built in 1815, just three years after the pioneering Clyde passenger steamer Comet, at the Port Glasgow shipyard of John Hunter. She had a wooden hull, measured 73 tons burden, with a length overall of 93 ft, a breadth of 16 ft and a depth of 8 ft. The ship's side paddles were powered by a 2-cylinder beam engine of 24 nhp made by Duncan McArthur at Camlachie. Britannia was later re-repowered with a similar engine of 16 nhp, made by J Cook, Glasgow.

History
The paddle steamer was built for a partnership led by Lewis MacLellan of Glasgow and Archibald McTaggart of Campbeltown and intended, together with the similar Waterloo, for services between those two ports. Initially though she ran from Glasgow to Tarbert and Inveraray, at the head of Loch Fyne, and only later in 1815 began serving Rothesay, Campbeltown and Helensburgh on a fortnightly basis. The following year the Britannia & Waterloo Steam Boat Company proposed what may be the first offering of season tickets to "families wishing to agree for the season" covering the two ships' services to a wide range of western Scotland destinations. In 1818 she additionally made some summer excursions round Ailsa Craig, off the Ayrshire coast.

Although as early as September 1816 there was reported intent of the Britannia making a voyage from Glasgow to Belfast, 1820 brought the first recorded trip between the Clyde and the northern Ulster coast when she made an excursion voyage to the Giant's Causeway in County Antrim. The following year a similar cruise was successfully extended to Derry, lasting four days from Glasgow. In 1822, in the ownership of Alexander A. Laird & Co, and under the name Glasgow and Londonderry Steam Packet Company, she began a regular service between those ports, with additional calls at Culmore, Quigley's Point, Moville, Greencastle and Portrush, which continued for seven years. In 1826 the owning company was changed to Britannia Steam Boat Company in consequence of the sale of Waterloo.

Loss
In October 1829 Britannia's owners announced a new service between Glasgow and Warrenpoint (for Newry) with the first return voyage scheduled to depart Warrenpoint on 10 October. En route to Glasgow with passengers and a cargo of wheat, she met a storm on Sunday 11 October on the Irish coast and put in to Donaghadee for shelter. In an abrupt change of wind direction early overnight, she ground on her anchors or a rock, took a leak and sank. All the passengers and crew were saved, as was half the cargo, but on 13 October further heavy storms reduced Britannia to a total wreck.
