''Wickenburgh'' was a cargo liner that was built in 1938 as ''Adler'' by Lübecker Maschinenbau Gesellschaft, Lübeck for German owners. Requisitioned by the Kriegsmarine in 1940, she was seized by the Allies in Vordingborg, Denmark in May 1945, passed to the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT) and renamed ''Empire Coningsby''. In 1946, she was transferred to the Dutch Government and renamed ''Margeca''. In 1947 she was sold into merchant service and renamed ''Wickenburgh''. In 1953 her compound steam engine and low-pressure steam turbine were replaced with a diesel engine, with a reduction in gross register tonnage from 1,494 to 1,420. She was sold to Greek owners in 1963 and renamed ''Nissos Thassos''. In 1970 she was sold to Panamanian owners and renamed ''Savilco''. She was scrapped in 1984. Provided by Wikipedia
