SS Lanthorn was a {{GRT|2299|link=off}} cargo ship built in 1889 as SS Magnus Mail, renamed in 1916 and sunk by enemy action in 1917. She was a combined steamship and two-masted sailing ship.

With Westoll Line 1889–1916

Short Brothers of Sunderland built her in 1889 for the Westoll Line, also of Sunderland.[3] Her triple expansion steam engine and two boilers were built by Thomas Richardson and Son of Hartlepool.[1] She was named after Captain Magnus Mail (1858–1916), a friend of James Westoll.[3]Magnus Mail was one of the last tramp steamers to be built with a clipper stem.[1] A painting of her from 1895 by the Italian artist Antonio Luzzo (1855–1907) shows her under sail with her two masts under schooner rig.[4] Westoll Line ships exported coal and patent fuel to Italy and Egypt and imported grain from Black Sea ports to the United Kingdom.[5] In February 1908 Magnus Mail ran aground outside Garston Docks in Liverpool.[3]

With the Gas Light and Coke Company 1916–17

The Gas Light and Coke Company of Westminster bought Magnus Mail in 1916[1] to carry coal from North East England to Beckton Gas Works. The GLCC renamed her SS Lanthorn and placed her under the management of Stephenson Clarke and Associated Companies.[1]

On 21 May 1917 the German U-boat {{SMU|UB-41}}[2] shelled her from astern in the North Sea off Whitby.[1] Lanthorn was hit in her saloon amidships, twice in her port quarter and then in her stokehold and engine room, bursting her main steam pipe.[1] All her crew survived the attack, abandoned ship, and rowed away.[1] From their lifeboat they saw the U-boat come alongside her and assumed a German boarding party went aboard Lanthorn.[1] The U-boat then left the area and half an hour later Lanthorn suffered an explosion amidships, which her crew assumed was caused by charges planted by the Germans to scuttle her.[1]

Vessels from Whitby rescued the crew, found Lanthorn still afloat and took her in tow.[1] However, before she could reach safety she sank about half a mile south of the Whitby Rock buoy.[1]
