abstract
  • SS Flying Lark was a cargo ship that traded from 1915 until 1958. Fredrikstad Mekaniske Verksted of Fredrikstad, Norway built her as the banana boat SS Honduras. Her career lasted 43 years, in which time she had 10 successive owners, eight successive names and a succession of different managers. In 1957 her final owners renamed her Flying Lark. In 1958 she was trading in Indonesia when the CIA attacked and sank her, killing at least nine of her crew. Honduras was a conventional small cargo steamship of her era, equipped with two fire tube boilers supplying one 3-cylinder triple-expansion steam engine. There is some discrepancy over her nominal horsepower: one source states that her engine produced 258 NHP but another states that it was only 188 NHP.
