THE SHIP'S BELL FROM THE RAILWAY STEAMSHIP S.S LUTTERWORTH, 1891 cast in brass with moulded rim and black-filled lettering to front with suspension ring and rope sally -- 11in. (28cm.) diam Built by Earles of Hull, Lutterworth registered at 1002 tons and was launched on 8 April 1891 by Mrs. Pollitt, wife of Henry Pollitt the general manager of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway. On 23 February 1899 the Wilson liner Bruno collided with Lutterworth which was at anchor off Schulan. She was beached and a diver made temporary repairs to the damage which had been sustained aft. On 15 February 1901, she went ashore near Hamburg Roads. Despite several attempts to float her off, she was stuck fast. The cargo was removed in an attempt to lighten her and she was finally refloated around 2 weeks later. In 1923 she was acquired by the London and North Eastern Railway who kept her until 1932 when she was sold to the British and Irish Steam Packet Company and scrapped in the following year.
