SS Lancing was a Norwegian whale factory ship, originally the British merchant ship Knight Errant. She passed through a number of owners, being named Rio Tiete, Omsk, Calanda, and Flackwell at different stages in her career. She was sunk off Cape Hatteras on 7 April 1942 by the {{GS|U-552}}. Construction and early careerKnight Errant was built by Charles Connell and Company, Scotstoun and launched on 11 December 1897, being completed the following year. She entered service with Knight Steamship Company, Liverpool and sailed for them until being sold in 1913 to the European & Brazilian Shipping Company, of London. She was renamed Rio Tiete in 1914 and spent part of the First World War under the British flag. She was sold to Dobroflot in 1915, the Russian Volunteer Fleet Association, and was renamed Omsk. With the Russian Revolution in 1917 and the Russian exit from the war, Omsk was seized by the British Shipping Controller and operated on their behalf by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. She was then sold on again, in 1921, to the London & Foreign Maritime Trading Company, and then to the London Steamship & Trading Corporation. By now renamed Calanda, she spent only a few years on this service, and was sold once more to D L Flack & Son, London in 1923, being renamed Flackwell. Her final sale took place in 1925, when she was acquired by the Norwegian firm of Hvalfanger A/S Globus. They undertook her conversion to a whale factory ship and assigned her to be operated by Melsom & Melsom, Larvik under the name Lancing. SinkingIn early April 1942, Lancing was sailing from Curaçao to New York City, under the command of Master Bjerkholt, with a cargo of 8,900 tons of fuel oil. She was sighted off Cape Hatteras on 7 April by {{GS|U-552||2}}, under Erich Topp. Lancing was hit with a single torpedo at 10:52, killing a single crewman. The remainder of the crew abandoned ship as the Lancing sank off Buxton, Dare County, North Carolina. They were rescued by the American tanker {{SS|Pan Rhode Island}}. The Lancing had a bunker capacity of 16,279 bbl for heavy fuel oil. In 2011-2013, the shipwreck was evaluated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for pollution potential.[2][3] The wreck of the Lancing was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.nps.gov/nr/listings/20130705.htm|title=National Register of Historic Places Listings|date=2013-07-05|work=Weekly List of Actions Taken on Properties: 6/24/13 through 6/28/13 |publisher=National Park Service}} {{April 1942 shipwrecks}}{{National Register of Historic Places in North Carolina}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Lancing, SS}}2. ^{{Cite web | title =Screening Level Risk Assessment Package: Lancing | date =March 2013| url = http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/protect/ppw/pdfs/lancing.pdf | format = pdf | publisher = National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | accessdate = 2014-10-01}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.uboat.net/allies/merchants/ships/1508.html|title=Lansing|last=Helgason|first=Guðmundur|website=German U-boats of WWII - uboat.net}} 18 : 1897 ships|Ships built on the River Clyde|Steamships of Norway|Steamships of Russia|Steamships of the United Kingdom|World War I merchant ships of Russia|World War I merchant ships of the United Kingdom|Ships of Nortraship|Whaling ships|Maritime incidents in April 1942|Ships sunk by German submarines in World War II|World War II shipwrecks in the Atlantic Ocean|Shipwrecks of the Carolina coast|Archaeological sites on the National Register of Historic Places in North Carolina|Shipwrecks on the National Register of Historic Places in North Carolina|Buildings and structures in Dare County, North Carolina|National Register of Historic Places in Dare County, North Carolina|World War II on the National Register of Historic Places |
