Excerpt: The SS English Trader was a merchant ship which was wrecked in 1941 off the coast of Norfolk, England on the Hammond's Knoll sandbank. Several epic rescue attempts by lifeboats failed, but a further attempt, the following day, by the Cromer lifeboat rescued the surviving 44 men on board. The ship was built in 1934 at the shipyards of the Furness Ship Building Company Ltd at Haverton-Hill-on-Tees for the Arctees Shipping Company Ltd where she was then called Arches. She was designed by Joseph Isherwood and had the revolutionary "ARCFORM" hull design to improve fuel consumption. Fifty ships were built to that design between 1933 and 1954. Joseph Isherwood later received a knighthood in recognition of his contribution to the maritime industry. In 1936 she was sold to the Trader Navigation Company Ltd as their first tramp vessel and renamed English Trader. All the company's later vessels had the same -Trader suffix. The first three years of the vessel's life were uneventful. On 23 January 1937 the English Trader found herself in the waters of the Devon coast. Whilst entering Dartmouth harbour she was run aground close to the Castle at the entrance to the haven. Attempts were made to re-float her by four tugs and a Royal Navy destroyer without any success. She was badly holed and some of the holds were filling with debris and so after ten day of being stuck fast, drastic measures were taken to save the ship. This course of action involved cutting the ship in two at her bow section which was eventually scrapped. The process took nineteen days after which the undamaged after part was pulled stern-first into Dartmouth Harbour. Later she was moved to Southampton.
