PS Killingholme was a passenger and cargo vessel built for the Great Central Railway in 1912.[2]

History

The ship was built by Earle's Shipbuilding of Hull and launched on 23 February 1912[3] by Mrs Boothby, wife of Captain Boothby. She was one of an order of two new ships, the other being {{PS|Brocklesby|1912|2}} used for the New Holland to Hull ferry service[4]. She was used by King George V and Queen Mary on their visit to open the King George Dock in Immingham in July 1912[1][5].

During the First World War she was a seaplane carrier for the Royal Navy, in which capacity she was struck by a torpedo losing one of her paddles. [6]

She was withdrawn from regular service in 1934, but retained for excursions and as a spare ferry.

During the Second World War she was again requisitioned and used as a barrage balloon depot ship in the Humber.

She was scrapped in 1945.
