SS Jagiełło was a medium-sized passenger ship, sailing under the Polish flag between 1948 and 1949, and then decommissioned due to unprofitable and post-war political conditions, which were not conducive to the development of the Polish passenger fleet, and finally transferred to the Soviet Union.

Description

The ship was 117.25 metres (384 ft 8 in) long, with a beam of 15.98 metres (52 ft 5 in) and a depth of 6.22 metres (20 ft 5 in). She was assessed at 6,133 GRT, 3,139 NRT.[1]

The ship was powered by a 6-cylinder triple expansion steam engine, which had 2 cylinders each of 60 centimetres (23+1⁄2 in), 90 centimetres (35+7⁄16 in) and 159 centimetres (62+5⁄8 in) diameter by 100 centimetres (39+3⁄8 in) stroke. The engine drove twin screw propellers via low pressure turbines and a double reduction drive. It was built by Blohm+Voss,[1] and could propel the ship at 15 knots (28 km/h).[2]

History

The ship was built in 1939 as Dogu at the Blohm und Voss shipyard in Hamburg for the Turkish government organisations Denizbank and Denizyollari Idaresi.[3] Dogu was launched on 15 March 1939, the first of three sister ships, the others being Egemen and Savas, but had not been commissioned when war broke out in September 1939.[4] The ship was taken over by Germany, with Deutsche Afrika-Linien appointed managers, and renamed Luderitzbucht.[5] In 1940 the ship was taken over by the Kriegsmarine, who used it as a residential hulk at Flensburg, renaming it Duala in early 1945.[5][6]

Still moored at Flensburg in May 1945 Duala was taken as prize by British forces and transferred to the Ministry of War Transport under the name Empire Ock.[5] The United Kingdom Official Number 180588 and Code Letters GJZD were allocated. The ship's port of registry was London and it was operated under the management of City Line Ltd.[1] In the following year Empire Ock was allocated to the Soviet Union as part of German war reparations, and it was given the name Pyotr Velikiy (Russian: "Пётр Великий").[5] The conversion back to a passenger ship proved to be too expensive, so in 1947 it was sold to Poland.

After a year-long renovation in the Genoa shipyard, the ship was given the name SS Jagiełło and Gdynia-America Line colours, but never came to Gdynia. It was the only large passenger ship from the Blohm & Voss shipyard, operated under the Polish flag. For a year she sailed—in cooperation with the Italian shipowner company Cosulich and with the Italian crew (only a few officers and specialists were Polish)—on the Mediterranean Sea-Central America Line, then, due to the unprofitable nature of the venture, the ship returned (probably free of charge) to the Soviet flag and to the name Pyotr Velikiy in 1949.[6][2]

It was exploited (similarly to MS Sobieski which was renamed to Gruziya) as a Black Sea cruiser (it sailed mostly on the Odessa-Sochi-Batumi route). [6]In 1974 it was scrapped at Castellón, Spain.[2]
