From the Wikipedia article
MS Bermuda (frequently erroneously referred to as MV Bermuda) was an ocean liner that Furness, Withy's Furness Bermuda Line operated between New York and Bermuda from 1928 until 1931. She was damaged by two fires in 1931, the second of which put her beyond economic repair. In 1933 she was being towed to be scrapped when she broke adrift, ran ashore and was wrecked. Bermuda has been referred to as the unluckiest liner ever built or ever to go afloat.

She was launched in July 1927 and completed that December. Bermuda was 525.9 ft long, had a beam of 74.1 ft and depth of . She had four screws, each driven by a four-cylinder Doxford two-stroke diesel engine. The combined power output of her four engines was rated at 2,772 NHP,
