LORD GOUGH

The "Lord Gough" was built in 1878 by Laird Brothers, Birkenhead for G.M.Papayanni. Her details were 3,655 gross tons, length 382.8ft x beam 40.2ft, one funnel, four masts, iron construction, single screw and a speed of 12 knots. I have no information on her passenger accommodation.

Launched in November 1878, she was chartered to the American Line and made her maiden voyage from Liverpool to Philadelphia in April 1879. In 1888 she was bought by the Lord Gough Steamship Co (American Line) but continued to sail under the British flag. She commenced her last Liverpool - Philadelphia voyage on 9/2/1895 and was sold in 1896 to the Aberdeen Atlantic Line. In 1898 she was resold and scrapped the following year at Genoa.
