TSS Bruges was a passenger vessel built for the Great Eastern Railway in 1920.[1]

History

The ship was built by John Brown of Clydebank for the Great Eastern Railway as one of a contract for two new steamers and launched on 20 March 1920.[2] She was launched by Lady Thornton

She was placed on the Harwich to Antwerp route.[3]

In 1923 she was acquired by the London and North Eastern Railway.

She was requisitioned during the World War II as a troop transport ship and bombed and damaged on 11 June 1940 at Le Havre by Luftwaffe aircraft. She was beached to prevent her from sinking.[4]
