The SS Armonia was a British-built cargo vessel launched in 1924 by Blyth Shipbuilding & Drydock Co Ltd at Blyth, Northumberland. Originally named the Tullochmoor, she measured approximately 2,740 gross registered tons (GRT) and was constructed as a cargo ship for the Moor Line, managed by Walter Runciman and Company. Her design and construction reflected the typical characteristics of early 20th-century British cargo ships, though specific dimensions beyond her GRT are not detailed in the provided source. Throughout her 26-year service life, the vessel underwent numerous ownership and name changes, reflecting a complex operational history. In 1936, she was sold to Franz L Nimitz of Stettin, Germany, and renamed Brigitte. During World War II, she was at Hamburg in May 1945 when she was seized as an Allied war prize. The UK Ministry of War Transport (MoWT) then acquired her, renaming her Empire Soar and managing her through Sir Robert Ropner & Co. After the war, her ownership shifted to Greece in 1946, when she was renamed Preveza, then to Synodinos Brothers in 1948 as Danapris, and later to A. Angelicoussis & Co in 1957, becoming Armonia. Her final years saw further changes: in 1959, she was sold to Keanyew Shipping Co and renamed Keanyew, registered in Panama; in 1960, she was sold to Southern Commercial Co and renamed Charlie. She was scrapped later in 1960 in Hong Kong. A notable incident in her history occurred in April or May 1958, when while in Amboina Harbour in Indonesia, Armonia was bombed by a CIA-operated Douglas B-26 Invader aircraft involved in a covert operation against the Sukarno government. The attack also damaged or sank two other ships, SS Aquila and SS Flying Lark. The event is significant due to its geopolitical context, marking her involvement in Cold War covert activities. Overall, the SS Armonia's history encapsulates a vessel that served through wartime upheavals, changing hands multiple times, and becoming part of a notable Cold War incident before her scrapping in 1960.
