City of Benares

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_City_of_Benares
 SS City of Benares was a steam passenger ship built for Ellerman Lines by Barclay, Curle & Co of Glasgow in 1936.[1] During the Second World War the City of Benares was used as an evacuee ship to evacuate 90 children from Britain to Canada. The ship was torpedoed in 1940 by the German submarine U-48 with heavy loss of life,[2][3] including the death of 77 of the evacuated children. The sinking caused such public outrage in Britain that it led to the total cancellation of the Children's Overseas Reception Board (CORB) plan to relocate British children abroad.[4]
