History
[edit]World War II
[edit]Empire Earl was launched on 8 December 1943 and completed in May 1944.[1] She was placed under the management of Dodd, Thompson & Co Ltd. She was allocated the United Kingdom official number 180132 and call sign GBWQ. Her port of registry was Sunderland.[3] Her captain was Arthur Hawkins, who had been in command of Empire Sunrise when she was torpedoed and sunk in 1942 and had subsequently been master of the Fort ship Fort Carillon.[4]
On 8 June 1944, Empire Earl made the first of many round trips from Southend, Essex to the Seine Bay, Seine-Maritime, France. These voyages were mostly as a member of various ETM and FTM convoys, and lasted until 30 August. No voyages are recorded until 30 October, when Empire Earl made a round trip to Methil, Fife via convoys FN 1526 and FS 1646, arriving back at Southend on 26 November. From 6 December until the end of the war, she made a number of round trips from Southend to Antwerp, Belgium as a member of various TAM and ATM convoys.[5]
Post-war
[edit]After VE Day, Empire Earl made more round trips between Southend and Antwerp, the first four in convoy and then sailing independently. A final voyage in convoy was made in August when she sailed from Southend to the Seine Bay as a member of Convoy ETM 52, before sailing to Antwerp and resuming her previous schedule. She departed from London on 29 August 1945 for Newcastle upon Tyne, where she arrived two days later. She departed on 11 October for Antwerp, arriving two days later and departing on 25 October for Hamburg, Germany, where she arrived on 29 October. She departed on 19 November for the Tyne, where she arrived two days later.[5]
In 1945 Empire Earl was sold to Sir Philip Haldin's United British Steamship Co Ltd, London, who renamed her Cressington Court and placed her under the management of Haldin & Co Ltd.[1] In 1953, United British Steamship Co Ltd became Court Line Ltd.[2] On 27 July 1954, Cressington Court was in collision with the Argentine cargo ship Marinero in the River Plate near Buenos Aires.[6]
In 1958, Cressington Court was sold to West Wales Steamship Co. Ltd, Newport, Monmouthshire and was renamed East Wales. She was placed under the management of Gibbs & Co Ltd.[1]
In 1966, East Wales was sold to Dalkeith Shipping Co Ltd, Dalkeith, Midlothian and was renamed Universal Skipper. She was operated under the management of International Steamship Co Ltd, Hong Kong. Universal Skipper was scrapped in November 1970 at Whampoa, Hong Kong.[1]
