The SS Ferret was a steamship built in 1894 in the United Kingdom for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. Initially used for ferry services, the ship was later converted for cargo transportation. During World War I, the SS Ferret was requisitioned by the Admiralty and served as a minesweeper in the Mediterranean. Following the war, the ship was returned to its original owners and resumed its commercial operations. The SS Ferret had a long and successful career until it was decommissioned in 1934 and eventually scrapped. The ship's service history reflects the versatility and adaptability of vessels during this era, transitioning from passenger ferry duties to wartime service and back to commercial use. The SS Ferret's story is a testament to the important role that ships played in transportation, commerce, and military operations during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
