The SS City of London was a passenger steamship built in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1863 by Tod & McGregor, and owned by the Inman Line.
She had one singular funnel, and three sail masts in case she ran out of coal. She was mostly black.
She completed her maiden voyage from Liverpool, to Queenstown, and then to New York on September the 29th 1870. She carried immigrants from Liverpool to New York for many years.
In November 1881, 41 people died when she was mysteriously lost at sea on her last journey to London.
