History

Unity was built by Murdoch and Murray Port Glasgow for the Co-operative Wholesale Society[2] and launched on 1 November 1902.[3]

Unity was obtained in 1905 by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.

Having avoided a torpedo attack which sank another vessel from the line in April 1918, Unity was torpedoed and sunk on 2 May 1918 by the Imperial German Navy submarine UB-57 in the English Channel 9 miles (14 km) southeast of Folkestone with the loss of twelve of her crew.[4]
