To Swedish Lloyd.


The Northumbria (1,896 grt in 1930, 243 ft. long) was built in 1898 as the Balder for Thule Line.
She joined the Swedish Lloyd fleet in 1916 when Thule was taken over.
After a thorough refit in 1930 she was renamed Northumbria.
She was seized by the Germans in 1940, though sunk by Allied bombs in Gdynia in 1943.
