1782 tons, built at Stockton in 1884. Robert Karran was Captain of the Manx King for about six years and died aboard her. The captaincy passed to his brother George and two of his children were later born on board. The ship figurehead represented King Orry, legendary King of Man. The families of the Karran brothers sailed with them and several children were born on the high seas. Tessa Karran, daughter of Captain George, was born when the Manx King was passing through the dangerous waters off Cape Horn. On 8 July 1918 U-156 stopped and scuttled the Norwegian owned Manx King at 40°05′N 52°00′W, which was traveling between New York and Rio de Janeiro with break bulk cargo. Captain Rasmus Emil Halvorsen and her crew were rescued from the lifeboats after 27 hours by DS Anchites of Liverpool, England.
