looking for any info on Steam Ship Triton docked in Glasgow circa 1908.?

Answer 1

Well, that was a bit entertaining... Here's just a little at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~bmuwgw/ships5.html

It's about a third of the way down the page. Looks like 1910.

There's also some info here...not in English, though, and it may be a different ship. Looks like it was rebaptized Triton in1897, having been bought by the empress of Finland.:
TRITON:

Nave finlandesa de casco de hierro con aparejo de fragata de tres palos botada en el mes septiembre del año 1875 en el astillero A. Hall & Company de Aberdeen, Escocia, con el nombre de BAY OF NAPLES para J. & G. Bulloch de Londres. Su número de matrícula original era 73585 y su señal distintiva WTDF. Sus dimensiones en pies eran: 266.7 x 39.3 x 23.8 y su registro grueso y neto era de 1677 y 1621 toneladas respectivamente.

En el año 1897 fue vendida a la empresa finlandesa Trio (J. E. Moe & L. Ceder) de Vasa, Finlandia y rebautizada TRITON.

El 31 de mayo de 1914 fue abandonada tras ser desarbolada y seriamente averiada por un temporal frente al Río de la Plata. La tripulación fue rescatada por el vapor alemán ALEXANDRIA.

History:

Notes on loss: At 02.55 hours on 2 Jun, 1942, the unescorted Triton (Master B. van Dijk) was shelled by U-558 after being illuminated by a flare about 470 miles southeast of Bermuda. The ship tried to escape westwards at full speed and returned fire, but had to stop 20 minutes later after several shells had hit, causing heavy damage and killing five crewmen. The survivors abandoned ship on order of the master in three lifeboats because one port boat had been destroyed. At 04.00 hours, the burning ship capsized and sank and 10 minutes later the U-boat surfaced and questioned the survivors. Krech agreed that they searched for other surviviors and gave them the best course to Bermuda or Puerto Rico. Eight survivors were wounded and one of them died later. The master, 28 crew members and one passenger were picked up after three days by the American steam merchant Mormack Port and landed at New York on 9 June.
