Southern Pride was a steam-powered whaler built by the Smiths Dock Company of Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England, in 1936.[1] She was the initial design inspiration for the Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:WPSHIPS utilities/data' not found.s used to escort convoys in the North Atlantic in World War II.[2][3][4] The final design for the Flower class was significantly modified from that of Southern Pride factoring in things like ease of construction.[5]
After World War II began Southern Pride was requisitioned by the Royal Navy, and converted into a warship.[3] Her conversion took six weeks and cost 75,000 pounds. She was wrecked off Freetown in June 1944.[6]

About this time Mr William Reed of Smith's Docks came to see me. He enlarged upon the properties of the whale-catchers of the Southern Pride class built to the British Corporation's classification. It seemed to me that vessel with the characteristics of Southern Pride would meet the requirements outlined by Sir Roger Backhouse.
