Sir Harvey Adamson, Passenger steamboat in Andaman Sea, Burma.

The Sir Harvey Adamson measured 67 meters in length, featured two triple-expansion steam engines, and contained accommodations for 500 passengers across three classes.

Built in Glasgow during 1914, this British India Steam Navigation Company vessel operated along Burma's coast until its disappearance in the Andaman Sea in 1947.

The vessel carried the name of Burma's Lieutenant Governor from 1910 to 1915, reflecting British colonial presence in Southeast Asian maritime transportation.

The steamboat maintained regular passenger service between Rangoon and Mergui, supporting regional connectivity along Burma's Tenasserim coast through scheduled departures.

On April 17, 1947, the ship vanished with 269 people during a storm, leaving no trace despite extensive searches in the Andaman Sea.

Length: 66.75 m
