HMS Bayano
Dumfries and Galloway, United Kingdom
HMS Bayano was a British cargo liner and banana boat. She was built in Glasgow for Elders & Fyffes in 1913. Early in the First World War, the Admiralty requisitioned her and had her converted into an armed merchant cruiser (AMC). A German U-boat sank her by torpedo in the North Channel in 1915, killing 195 members of her crew, 26 crew-members survived. She was one of at least two Elders & Fyffes ships to have been named after the Bayano River in Panama. The other was built in 1917 and scrapped in 1956.
