The S.S. Llangorse was a trunk-decked steamer built by Ropner and Sons of Stockton-on-Tees in 1904 for Evan Thomas, Radcliffe and Co of Cardiff. When built, she was named Clarissa Radcliffe after one of Henry Radcliffe’s daughters. She was re-named Llangorse in 1917. Sold to London owners in 1924, she passed to Greek and Panamanian owners before being scrapped by Wards at Milford Haven in 1952.
