Ltd in Newcastle in 1923. It had several owners; including the Mid-Atlantic Shipping Co. Ltd and the Spanish government, which salvaged it in 1941 after being damaged during the Spanish Civil War in an air attack. Only in 1967, did it get demolished at Castellon. SS Gretafield was a tank steamship that was launched by Cammell Laird & Co. Ltd, Birkenhead for the Northern Petroleum Tank Steam Ship Company in 1928. The steamship was active in the Second World War and sadly in 1940, whilst on Admiralty service, it was torpedoed by a German submarine, causing the death of eleven people on board. The wreckage was washed up at Dunbeath, near Wick, and was abandoned as a total loss.

The United States Shipping Board loaned the ~three islands~ steel lumber freighter Pacific Fir for a nominal $1 and it was renamed the Jacob Ruppert after a supporter, and she steamed in company with a converted wooden whaler Bear which was also an icebreaker. Crewed by ninety-five men hot-bunking between thirty bunks, they reached pack ice on 20th December 1933 which presented a serious problem for her unprotected 2cm steel plates. After many detours the Jacob Ruppert finally moored beside the bay ice three miles from Little America but was separated from it by massive pressure ridges and unloading the 400 tons of stores on unstable ice and in high winds was a nightmare, but completed and the Jacob Ruppert departed. In 1941 she was renamed Cocle, but was torpedoed by U-94 on 12 May 1942 in passage between the Tyne and New York with general cargo.
