The SS Indus was a British cargo ship built in 1904 by Earle's Shipbuilding in Hull. The ship had a long and varied career, serving in both World Wars and being involved in numerous incidents. During World War I, the SS Indus was requisitioned by the British Admiralty and used for transporting troops and supplies in the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. In 1917, she was torpedoed by a German submarine but managed to reach port for repairs. In World War II, the ship was once again requisitioned, this time by the Royal Navy, and was involved in various convoy duties. After the war, the SS Indus was sold to Greek owners and continued to operate as a cargo ship until she was scrapped in 1953. The ship's eventful history reflects the role of merchant vessels in supporting military operations during both World Wars and the challenges they faced from enemy forces.
