SS City of Leeds was a passenger and cargo vessel built for the Great Central Railway in 1912.^[1]

History

The ship was built by Earle's Shipbuilding of Hull and launched on 8 June 1903^[2] by the Lady Mayoress of Leeds. She was one of an order for two ships, the other being {{SS|City of Bradford|1903|2}}.

In 1914 on arrival in Hamburg and being unaware of the outbreak of war, she was intercepted and taken as a prize. Captain Lundie and the crew were held prisoner until the end of the war and only returned to England in 1918.^[3] She was recovered by British forces in January 1919 and returned to Grimsby.

In 1923 she passed into the ownership of the London and North Eastern Railway, and in 1935 to the Associated Humber Lines. She was surplus to requirements and scrapped in 1936.
