Video: Tragic tale of Aberdeen steam ship

ALMOST a century after it was sunk, treasures from an Aberdeen-built steam ship are going on show in the city.

The SS Hogarth was heading back to Aberdeen from London in June 1918 when it was torpedoed by a German U-boat.

Now a model of the ship and treasures from the wreck are being displayed.

Its story is being told as part of an exhibition at the Aberdeen Maritime Museum starting tomorrow.
