Information. The SS Fort Brandon was built in 1943 by the Burrard Dry Dock Co., in North Vancouver for the Ministry of War Transport. In 1948 she was sold to Counties Ship Management, London and renamed Laurentian Hill and had further changes of name and owners before being scrapped in 1985 and broken up in China. In 1944 I was serving as o/s aboard SS Fort Brandon in Antwerp. I got cheesed of after a night of bombing in the siberia dry dock. For some relief I decided to go to the Rex movie cinema the next day. At 3.15pm a v2 hit the cinema killing over 500 people. I Should have stayed aboard. John Quine.
