SS Torrington was a British steamship built in 1905. She served as a collier for the Tatem Steam Navigation Company. During the First World War she was returning from delivering coal to Italy when she was attacked by the German U-boat U-55. Many of her crew were taken onto the deck of the submarine but were drowned when the German captain Wilhelm Werner ordered the submarine to dive. The British government sought a war crimes prosecution against Werner after the war but he fled to Brazil.
