History edit
Hebble was built by William Dobson and Company in Walker Yard for the Goole Steam Shipping Company Limited[3] and launched on 7 July 1891.
Hebble was obtained by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1905.
On 12 August 1908, Hebble was damaged in a collision with the Yarmouth steamer Armourer in the Humber estuary.[4]
Hebble was requisitioned by the Admiralty in the World War I. She struck a mine and sank in the North Sea 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) east of Roker, County Durham (54°55′N 1°18′W / 54.917°N 1.300°W), England, with the loss of five of her crew.[5]
