Steve,
A little more on "Eloby".She was used a war transport between UK-France and UK-Alexandria. On June 26 1916 she escaped a torpedo hit in the Mediterranean,but in July 1917 she was torpedoed by U-38 whilst carrying explosives. She was in a two ship convoy with two escorts, the ship blew up immediately. 57 lost 3 found in the water. There is a picture of her almost identical sister here.
