MV Munster was a passenger ferry operated by the British and Irish Steam Packet Company from 1938 to 1940. She was sunk by a mine during WWII.

History

MV Munster was a passenger ship built by Harland and Wolff for the British and Irish Steam Packet Company in 1937.^[2] She and her sister {{MV|Leinster|1937|6}} took up their intended service between Liverpool and Dublin in 1938. Their original buff hulls were later changed to dark green.^[2] Although they were the largest vessels in the Coast Lines fleet, they did not have capacity for cattle on the Dublin route. Two cattle carriers were added to the fleet: Kilkenny (1,320 tons from the Liffey Dockyard), and Dundalk (630 tons from Ardrossan, Scotland).^[3]^[4]

Whilst on the Belfast to Liverpool run on 2 February 1940, Munster triggered a magnetic mine near the Liverpool Bar at 6 am, laid by German submarine U-30. Munster sank; all 250 aboard were rescued, although one died later.^[1]

Service

Liverpool - Dublin (1937-40)
