Clan Macalister was a steam ship built in 1903 by the Archibald McMillan & Son of Dumbarton. She was the second ship named Clan Macalister in service with the Clan Line used on their Oriental routes. Design and ConstructionIn 1902 Clan Line sold their old steamer Clan Macalister, and placed an order with Archibald McMillan & Son of Dumbarton to build a new ship for them. The ship was launched on March 18, 1903[3] and after sea trials was commissioned in April of the same year.[1] As built, the ship was {{convert|395|ft|0|in|m}} long (between perpendiculars) and {{convert|51|ft|1|in|m}} abeam, a mean draft of {{convert|27|ft|0|in|m}}.[2] Clan Macalister was assessed at 4,835 GRT and {{NRT|3,065}}.[2] The vessel had a steel hull, and a single 450 nhp triple-expansion steam engine, with cylinders of {{convert|26|in|cm|adj=on}}, {{convert|43|in|cm|adj=on}}, and {{convert|71|in|cm|adj=on}} diameter with a {{convert|48|in|cm|adj=on}} stroke, that drove a single screw propeller, and moved the ship at up to {{convert|10.5|kn|mph km/h}}.[2] Operational historyIn early 1900s, the Clan Line operated two main routes between United Kingdom and her colonies in the East. The first one was a direct route from the home ports through the Strait of Gibraltar, Suez Canal and to the ports of India and Ceylon. The second one involved sailing down the western coast of Africa first to the ports of South African colonies, then onto the ports of Ceylon and India, and occasional trips to Australia. Clan Macalister departed for her maiden voyage from Barrow on May 3, 1903 for South Africa.[4]Sinking{{Location map|Mediterranean|label=|marksize=6|mark=Red_pog.svg|lat_dir=N|lat_deg=33|lat_min=10 |lat_sec=00|lon_dir=E|lon_deg=25|lon_min=50|lon_sec=00|position=right|width=177|float=right|caption=Wreck location}}On November 6, 1915 Clan Macalister, while on a passage from Liverpool to Calcutta with general cargo, was captured by the German submarine {{SMU|U-35|Germany|2}}, in an approximate position {{coord|33|10|N|25|50|E}}, about 120 miles southeast off Cape Martello, Crete, and was subsequently sunk with a torpedo.[5] Notes1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.clydeships.co.uk/view.php?ref=13635 |title=Clyde Built Ships: Clan Macalister |accessdate=February 20, 2018}} {{Coord|33|10|N|25|50|E|display=title}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Clan Macalister}}{{November 1915 shipwrecks}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite book |year=1906–1907 |title=Lloyd's Register, Steamships and Motorships |location=London |publisher= Lloyd's of London Press Ltd}} 3. ^1 Practical Engineer and Engineers' Gazette, v. 27-28, p.335 (1903) 4. ^London Standard, May 6, 1903, p.10 5. ^{{cite book |year=2006 |last=Tennent |first=A.J. |edition=Second |title=British Merchant Ships Sunk by U-boats in World War One |location=London |publisher=Periscope Publishing Ltd |isbn=978-1904381365 |page=40}} 7 : 1903 ships|Steamships of the United Kingdom|Merchant ships of the United Kingdom|Maritime incidents in 1915|Ships of the Clan Line|World War I shipwrecks in the Mediterranean|Ships sunk by German submarines in World War I |
