SS Canadian Constructor was a refrigerated ship built in 1922 by Halifax Shipyards Ltd in Nova Scotia.
The ship had 12 corrugated furnaces with a combined grate area of 264 sqft heating her four 180 lbf/in2 single-ended boilers, which had a combined heating surface of 10848 sqft. The boilers fed a 705 NHP triple expansion steam engine that was built by Tidewater Shipbuilders Ltd of Trois-Rivières, Quebec. Her hull had a 13-ton fore peak tank and a 128-ton aft peak tank.
The ship's first manager was Canadian National Steamships, which set up a one-ship company, Canadian Constructor Ltd, to own her.
In 1939 she was sold to Ernels Shipping Co of London, who registered her in London as SS Argos Hill and her placed under the control of Counties Ship Management.[1] She was damaged in an air attack on Convoy OA 178 in the English Channel on 4 July 1940.
Argos Hill survived and remained in service until after the surrender of Germany, but was destroyed by fire on 7 August 1945[1][2]
