HistorySt Petersburg was built by John Brown & Company of Clydebank for the Great Eastern Railway and launched on 25 April 1910.[2] She was launched by Miss Green, daughter of Frederick Green, director of the Great Eastern Railway Company. She was placed on the Harwich-to-Hook of Holland route.[3]St Petersburg was requisitioned by the Admiralty during the First World War and renamed Archangel in 1916. She was used as a cross-channel troopship. After the war Archangel returned to railway ownership, and in 1923 she fell under the ownership of the London and North Eastern Railway. She ran aground at the Hook of Holland in South Holland, the Netherlands, on 20 January 1925. Her passengers were landed by three tugs.[4] Requisitioned again in the Second World War, Archangel was bombed and damaged on 16 May 1941 in the North Sea {{convert|10|nmi|km}} north east of Aberdeen ({{coord|57|55|N|2|03|W}}) by Luftwaffe aircraft with the loss of 52 of the 475 people on board. The survivors were rescued by {{HMS|Blankney|L30|6}}. On 17 May 1941 Archangel was beached {{convert|5|nmi|km}} south of Newburgh, Aberdeenshire and broke into four.[5] {{location map|UK Scotland|relief=1|width=304|lat= 57.916667 |long= -2.05 |caption= Approximate location of the attack |AlternativeMap= }} References1. ^{{cite book |last1=Duckworth |first1=Christian Leslie Dyce |last2=Langmuir |first2=Graham Easton |date=1968 |title=Railway and other Steamers |trans-title= |url= |format= |language=English |location=Prescot, Lancashire |publisher= T.
