The Exeter City was the first of two British cargo steamers of that name built for the Bristol City Line that plied the route between Bristol and New York. ConstructionThe ship was built by Blyth Shipbuilding and Dry Docks Company in 1887 to the three-island principle. It was the first of two cargo steamers of that name built for the Bristol City Line, who had a practice of naming their ships after notable cities. The ship was of 289 ft with a beam of 39 ft. It was driven by a triple-expansion mechanism and made around ten knots.[1] The funnel colours for the line were black with white band containing a blue, five pointed star.[2] CareerThe ship would have plied the service between Bristol and New York which the Bristol line started in 1879 and continued until the 1970s.[3] The Exeter City was scrapped in Genoa, Italy, in 1925.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite book|author=Greenway, Ambrose |title=Cargo Liners: An Illustrated History|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Spj9AwAAQBAJ&pg=PA15|year=2011|publisher=Seaforth Publishing|location=Barnsley|isbn=978-1-78346-929-1|page=15}} 2. ^House flag, Bristol City Line of Steamships Ltd.
