SS Tiberia (INFOMAR/Ulster University)

3D Model

The SS Tiberia was a British steam-propelled cargo ship of 4880 tons built by the Northumberland Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. in Newcastle in 1913. She was a steel-hulled clinker-built vessel and schooner rigged with two masts. On 26th February 1918 she was torpedoed by a submarine U-19 and sunk 1.5 miles east from Black Head, Belfast Lough. There were no casualties.

She is lying in 63m of water, sitting upright on the seabed in a south-north direction. Data used to produce this model was acquired during a collaborative survey between the INFOMAR Project and the University of Ulster.
