  1. References

{{DISPLAYTITLE:MV S.E. Graham}}MV S.E. Graham was an oil tanker that was built in 1943 and operated by the Graham Company until her loss in 1958.[1] She was {{convert|250|ft|m}} in length[1] and measured 1,591 gross tons.[2]

On the morning of August 7, 1958, S.E. Graham was inbound to Providence, Rhode Island at the mouth of the Narragansett Bay near Rose Island with a load of {{convert|650,000|gal|l}} of gasoline when she collided in heavy fog with SS Gulfoil, which was outbound in ballast when she rammed S.E. Graham on her port bow.[1][3][2] The collision triggered a fire that engulfed both ships until they drifted apart and grounded separately.[2] S.E. Graham burned for most of the day, and was declared a total loss,[2] while Gulfoil was salvaged and eventually rebuilt for service on the Great Lakes.[9]

Eighteen sailors on board Gulfoil were killed in the collision—seventeen bodies were recovered, while one was listed as missing—while all of S.E. Graham's crew survived.[4] Survivors were retrieved by the Coast Guard cutter Laurel and various Coast Guard and Navy small craft.[2]
