Dundee
Following the Clyde was the SS Dundee. The Dundee called Port Blandford home and serviced Bonavista Bay. The Dundee was another duplicate of the Argyle having the same dimensions and being built in 1900. The Dundee only lasted for 19 years as she was lost near Grassy Island in Hamilton Sound, on December 25, 1919.
The Alphabet fleet was set up between the Newfoundland government and the Reid Newfoundland company under Robert G. Reid after the completion of the railway across the Island of Newfoundland in 1898. By 1900 there were 8 vessel's and 4 more were added later.
The Reid family originated in Scotland and all ships were built there, with the names beginning with a letter of the alphabet starting with A and each name had to end with E. The name also had to be from a scottish location. There was no ship named with the letter J as there was no place in Scotland that begins with J and ends with E.
