She was assessed at {{GRT|6,112}},[1] 9,650 DWT.[5] The ship was propelled by a triple expansion steam engine.[2]The engine was built by Danziger Werft, Danzig, Germany in 1944 and refurbished by Lübeck Flenderwerke in 1946–47. It drove a single screw propeller and could propel the ship at {{convert|12.5|kn|km/h}}.[5] HistoryLaid down as Greifswald by Lübecker Flenderwerke for Norddeutscher Lloyd, the ship was seized in an incomplete state by British forces in May 1945 and was passed to the MoWT.[2] Empire Ely was launched on 7 November 1947.[3] She was completed in 1948.[2] Empire Ely was placed under the management of Common Bros Ltd, Newcastle upon Tyne. In 1949, management passed to Sir R Ropner & Co, West Hartlepool, Co Durham.[1] Ropner's were given the option to purchase the ship. Although the name Swiftpool was allocated, the sale did not go through.[2] Empire Ely was offered for sale by tender in February 1949, then lying at Leith, Midlothian, undergoing minor repairs. She had not been declared a prize of war at the time.[3] Management passed to Maclay & MacIntyre Ltd, Glasgow in 1950 and then to Stott, Mann & Fleming Ltd, Newcastle upon Tyne in 1951.[1] On 26 August 1952, Empire Ely suffered an engine failure when she was {{convert|200|nmi|km}} west of Sabang, Indonesia. The rescue tug {{HMS|Griper|W112|2}} towed her to Singapore.[4] In 1954, Empire Ely was sold to Maribella Navigazione SA, Monrovia, Liberia and was renamed Maribella. In 1955, she was sold to F A Detjen, West Germany and renamed Ganges.[2] She was chartered to Deutsche Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft "Hansa". Her port of registry was Hamburg and the Code Letters DHNX were allocated.[5] In 1959, she was sold to the Compagnia de Navigazione Andria, Greece and renamed Eleni.[2] On 5 September 1971, Eleni was in collision with the Norwegian cargo ship Prinsesse Ragnhild in the Bay of Kiel. Although she proceeded to Gdynia, Poland under her own power, she was declared to be beyond economic repair. Eleni arrived at Santander, Spain in April 1972 for scrapping.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=http://www.mariners-l.co.uk/EmpireD.html |title=EMPIRE - D - E |publisher=Mariners |accessdate=20 August 2011}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite book |last1= Mitchell |first1=W.H. |last2=Sawyer |first2=L.A. |year=1995 |title=The Empire Ships |page=not cited |publisher= Lloyd's of London Press Ltd |location= London, New York, Hamburg, Hong Kong |isbn=1-85044-275-4}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{Cite newspaper The Times |articlename=Public Notices |day_of_week=Monday |date=21 February 1949 |page_number=10 |issue=51311 |column=B }} 4. ^{{cite news |title=Disabled Ship Taken in Tow |newspaper=The Straits Times |page=5 |issue=27 August 1952 |url= http://newspapers.nl.sg/Digitised/Article/straitstimes19520827.2.102.aspx |publisher=National Library of Singapore}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ddghansa-shipsphotos.de/cha-ganges100.htm |title=S/S GANGES (DHNX) | publisher=DDG Hansa Shipsphotos |language=German |accessdate=20 August 2011}} External links
