Torr Head

[The Engineer Magazine - 1894]
A steel twin screw 4 mast steamer of 2 steel decks, with electric light.
 
Like both Rathlin Head and Teelin Head, Torr Head also belonged to the Ulster Steamship Company Ltd. of Limerick, and was delivered to them on 7 April 1894 after completion and sea trials. Her Managers were G. Heyn & Sons.
 
Torr Head was used as a squadron supply ship for a short while in 1914.
 
On 20 April 1917 she was sunk by a torpedo fired by the German U-Boat U-60, North West of Fastnet, while on a general cargo voyage from St. John, N.B., Canada, to Dublin.
