S.S. Zalbalbide (launched 1920)


The S.S. Zalbalbide was the first ship launched from the new yard of Newcastle Shipbuilding Co Ltd in Hebburn. The cargo ship built for Compania Maritima Bilbao, a Spanish company. The Zalbalbide  was launched by Mayoress, Lady James Roll, on the 23rd December, 1920.[1] However, Newcastle Shipbuilding Co Ltd went out of business in April 1922, and the ship was sent to be completed by Irvines Shipbuilding & Dry Docks Co Ltd, in West Hartlepool.[2] The Zalbalbide caught fire on the 30th  October, 1935, whilst at Stabridge Dock in Liverpool.[3] The ship was finally broken up in 1938.
