- MV Walmer Castle was a UK cargo liner. She was launched in 1936 in Northern Ireland, and was the smallest ocean-going ship in the Union-Castle Line fleet. For three years she provided a scheduled weekly cargo feeder service linking Union-Castle liners that terminated at Southampton with the German ports of Bremen and Hamburg. In the Second World War she first served in the tramp trade with France and in home waters, then in 1940 became an armament supply ship. In 1941 she was converted into a convoy rescue ship. On her first Atlantic convoy an enemy air attack crippled her. After the survivors had abandoned her, Royal Navy ships sank her by gunfire. (en)
