SS Elios built by John Priestman

Elios/Helios the sun god

 

"SS Empire Brigade was a 5,184 GRT cargo ship that was built in 1912 as SS Hannington Court. She served through the First World War and was sold in 1936 to Achille Lauro, who renamed her Elios. In 1940 when Italy declared war on France and the United Kingdom she was interned by the UK as a war prize and taken over by the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT), which renamed her Empire Brigade. Four months later she was torpedoed and sunk by U-99."

"Priestman died in 1941, aged 86.[11] As he died without male heirs, his baronetcy became extinct."

Maybe nothing but getting a Titanic vibe. Wonder where Priestman's wealth went.
