The S.S. City of Antwerp[1] was a single screw steamship built out of iron for the Inman Line in 1867. She was built by Tod & Macgregor,[2] Glasgow, Scotland.

Shortly after being handed to the Inman Line by Tod & Macgregor[2] she entered service. Her maiden voyage was on 20 February 1867. She had a successful career with the Inman Line until 1879 when she was sold off to the Johnston Line.

Johnston Line service

[edit]

She was sold to the Johnston line by the Inman Line in 1879 and had her name changed to Thanemore. She served as Thanemore until December 1890, when she caught fire and burnt up around 1500 nautical miles off the American coast, east of Newfoundland. The given coordinates of her sinking are 47°N 43°W.
