ADDED:

Kathleen Lily was a 526 GRT compound-engined cargo ship completed in 1872 by W. Hägglund of Sundsvall for J.Johansson as Brage. From 1916 she was owned by Bargate Steam Shipping Co. Ltd., renamed Kathleen Lily and managed by F.A. Hobbs. She sank on 29 March 1917 after striking a mine laid by German submarine UC-31 at position 54° 27' N, 00° 28' W - approximately 2 nautical miles East of North Cheek, Robin Hood Bay. She was en route from Shields to Rouen with a cargo of coke.

Not that KATHLEEN LILY - Thomas Bean served on her in November 1918 so cannot be that one.

KATHLEEN LILLY official number 91302 is the correct ship ex-OUSE HOPPER NO1.
