SS Sagona was a passenger and freight ferry used by the Newfoundland government ferry service on its northern coastal routes between the island of Newfoundland and the coast of Labrador. Sagona was primarily a sealing vessel until 1938 bringing a total of 165,599 seals from 1912 until 1938 under captains Job Knee, Jack Randell, Lewis Little and Jacob Kean.Sagona was built in 1912 at Scotland by the Dundee Ship Building Company. It was 175 feet (53 m) in length and could accommodate 50 salon and 40 steerage passengers. Its hull was made of steel with double rows of pitch pine that gave it ice breaking capacity. It was built for the Newfoundland Produce Company and arrived in St. John's on 14 March 1912 under the command of Captain Marshall. Sagona made its first trip to the seal hunt on 15 March 1912 under Captain S.R. Winsor.In 1923, Sagona was acquired by the Newfoundland government as part of the arrangement that saw the Colony acquire the railway. Sagona helped in the rescue of survivors of SS Viking disaster in 1931. In 1941 the Newfoundland Railway sold Sagona to Colliford Clarke Company of London.

In spite of her historic voyage, Savannah was not a commercial success as a steamship and was converted back into a sailing ship shortly after returning from Europe.Savannah was wrecked off Long Island in 1821. No other American-owned steamship would cross the Atlantic for almost thirty years after Savannah's pioneering voyage. Two British sidewheel steamships, Brunel's SS Great Western and Menzies' SS Sirius, raced to New York in 1838, both voyages being made under steam power alone.

The SS Samuel Mather (1887) was the first of seven U.S. merchant ships to bear that name. The wooden Mather sank in 1891 after she was rammed by the steel freighter Brazil in heavy fog in Whitefish Bay 8 miles (13 km) from Point Iroquois, ending the Mather's 4-year career. Her intact wreck is a rare of example of wooden freighters that plied the Great Lakes and she is a popular scuba diving site. Although there was no loss of life when the Mather sank, her wreck claimed the lives of three scuba divers more than 100 years after she sank. Artifacts from her wreck were illegally removed in the 1980s by the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society. The artifacts are now the property of the State of Michigan and are on display as a loan to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum. The wreck of the Mather is protected as part of an underwater museum in the Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve.

SS Samtampa was a 7,219 ton steamship wrecked on Sker Point, off Porthcawl and Kenfig, Wales, in the Bristol Channel on 23 April 1947. At the time of the shipwreck, the Samtampa was operated by the Houlder Line.There were 47 fatalities in the incident, 39 from the ship and 8 volunteer crew of the lifeboat RNLB Edward, Prince of Wales (ON 678) from The Mumbles Lifeboat Station who died attempting to save the crew of the Samtampa. The lifeboat had returned to base, but had been sent out a second time. An oil spill from the tanks of the wrecked ship created an area of calm water, which the lifeboat coxswain, William Gammon (previously a winner of the RNLI Gold Medal), attempted to use to their advantage to enable them to pull alongside, and those who died were choked by the oil rather than drowning.A memorial to the victims of the Samtampa tragedy is in Porthcawl Cemetery. The ship had sailed from Middlesbrough and most of the 39 crew hailed from the Teesside area.The location of the wreck on Sker Point was 51°30′01″N 03°44′26″WIn recognition of the sixtieth anniversary, a church service took place in Porthcawl on Saturday 21 April followed by a smaller service at Sker Point.The Samtampa had been launched as the SS Peleg Wadsworth, a liberty ship built by the New England Shipbuilding Corporation at South Portland, Maine, and launched on 12 December 1943. Sent to Britain under the Lend-Lease program, the ship was renamed, and managed by the Houlder Line on behalf of the Ministry of War Transport.

The SS Samleyte was a United States Liberty ship launched on 20 April 1944 and scrapped in 1960.The ship carried 10,000 tons of explosives from Baltimore as part of a 107 ship convoy to the Mediterranean, where it suffered numerous "wolf pack" submarine attacks. While crossing the Atlantic the ship's engines ceased to function it drifted to the back of the convoy, where an escorting destroyer ordered it to "get back in line" and wished the crew luck. The ship was left as a "sitting duck" for the submarines following the convoy, but after two days drifting its engineers completed repairs and the ship met its convoy at the Straits of Gibraltar. The Samleyte unloaded in Alexandria, where it was converted to a troop carrier.For the next year and a half the Samleyte was active in the Italian campaign (invasion of Southern France), and was a supply ship for the Anzio Beachhead.

SS Santa Rita was a refrigerated cargo ship built for the United States Maritime Commission by Federal Shipbuilding of Kearny, New Jersey in 1941. Operated by the Grace Line, Santa Rita en route from Cape Town to Charleston, South Carolina, when she was attacked by German submarine U-172 on 9 July 1942. Steaming on a non-evasive course at 16 knots (30 km/h) 700 nautical miles (1,300 km) northeast of Puerto Rico, a single torpedo from U-172 hit the ship in the near the engine room. The explosion destroyed the engines; opened a 30-foot (9.1 m) hole in the hull of the ship, which immediately flooded the No. 3 cargo hold; and killed one officer and two men. After ten minutes, the ship's master, Henry Stephenson, ordered the ship abandoned, although most of the surviving officers and crew and the ship's two passengers had already boarded the Nos. 3 and 4 lifeboats.When the boat did not immediately sink, U-172 fired machine gun bursts at the vessel to discourage her crew from returning. The U-boat got off four quick shots with her deck gun that struck Sant Rita's superstructure, but did not finish off the ship. After taking Stephenson prisoner aboard the submarine, crewmen from U-172 boarded the still-floating Santa Rita and searched the ship for two hours, finally emerging with some scavenged food. After seven more shots from the deck gun were fired, Santa Rita rolled over on an even keel and sank at 15:20 near position 26°11′N 55°40′W. American destroyers Livermore and Mayo rescued most of the survivors and landed them at Port of Spain, Trinidad, while another boat rescued the rest and took them to Puerto Rico. Stephenson was repatriated to the United States in February 1945.

SS Saale was an ocean liner for North German Lloyd in the late 19th century, which was severely damaged in the 1900 Hoboken Docks Fire. On 30 June 1900, Saale was moored at the North German Lloyd piers in Hoboken, New Jersey, preparing to depart on a transatlantic crossing when some cotton on a nearby pier caught on fire and spread to the ship. Saale and several other ships were soon engulfed in flames; 99 passengers and crew on Saale were killed in the fire and subsequent sinking.The ship was raised, sold, rebuilt, re-engined, and renamed SS J. L. Luckenbach in 1901–02. The ship served as a cargo ship for the Luckenbach Line. In October 1917, during World War I, the Luckenbach came under attack by German submarine U-62, which damaged the ship and set her cargo of cotton on fire. but the ship was able to eventually make port in France. The ship was renamed SS Princess in 1922 and SS Madison in 1923. She was broken up at Genoa in June 1924.

SS Saint-Laurent was an ocean liner operated by Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT) in transatlantic service.She was built by the Ateliers et Chantiers de Saint-Nazaire Penhoët shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, and was the first transatlantic ocean liner constructed in France, as well as CGT's first screw-driven liner. Her design was based on the Cunard Line's RMS Persia, albeit adapted to screw propulsion. She was launched in 1866, and entered service on CGT's route between Le Havre and New York City, before sailing to Central America later in her career. She operated until 1902, when she was scrapped in Italy.Saint-Laurent measured 3,413 gross tons, with a length of 355 feet (108 m) and a beam of 43.75 feet (13.34 m). She had a passenger capacity of 211—128 in first class, 54 in second class, and 29 in third class. She was originally built with a single compound steam engine driving one screw and a three-masted sailing rig, capable of propelling her to a 12 knots (14 mph) service speed; in 1875 and 1876 she received new triple expansion engines. Her screw propulsion was a major improvement over CGT's existing paddlewheel steamships, and spurred the company to convert most of its fleet in North Atlantic service to screws.

SS Sansinena was a Liberian oil tanker that exploded in Los Angeles harbor on 17 December 1976. She was docked at berth 46 at Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro, California.The vessel was a steamship built in 1958. At its final port of call, Sansinena had discharged its cargo of crude oil and was taking on ballast and fuel when a massive explosion split the ship in half and obliterated multiple port buildings. The blast shattered windows for miles around and triggered a fire that spread across the dock and around the tanker. The Los Angeles Fire Department soon arrived on the scene to contain the blaze and rescue survivors. A United States Coast Guard investigation later concluded that the incident was caused by flammable vapor buildup on the deck of the ship. The ignition source was never identified.The official casualty count is:6 dead, all members of the Italian crew3 missing and presumed dead (two crew and one dock security guard)46 injured, 9 requiring hospitalizationThe explosion of Sansinena and technical details of the incident were featured as the first segment of the Engineering Disasters of the 70's episode of History Channel's Modern Marvels television series.

SS Sankt Erik is an icebreaker and museum ship attached to the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, Sweden.She was launched in 1915 as Isbrytaren II ("Ice breaker II") and was a conventionally-built Baltic icebreaker with a strengthened bow shaped to be lifted up onto the ice to crush it and a forward-facing screw to push water and crushed ice along the side of the hull. She also has heeling tanks which can be filled and emptied with seawater in turn to rock the ship to widen the channel. Her reciprocating steam engines are the most powerful functioning ones in Sweden.She was the country's first large icebreaker, and was owned and used by the City of Stockholm to keep the channels around it clear of ice. She was also sometimes used outside the Stockholm area by the Swedish government since it had contributed towards her cost.She was renamed in 1958 during an extensive refit, which saw her converted from coal to oil, the bridge was enclosed to protect the deck crew from the weather, and radar and radio fitted.
