You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.161.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:07, 1 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''SS ''Kyle''''' is a ((convert|220|ft|m)) steam ship that is aground in the harbour of the Town of [[Harbour Grace]], [[Newfoundland and Labrador]], [[Canada]].  She ran ashore in February 1967. Intended to transport supplies and provide transportation from Carbonear to Labrador, she was also used to transport infantry to [[Canada]] during [[World War II]].  After her grounding on the shores of Riverhead, Harbour Grace, she has had several owners, from the Earle Brothers Freighting Company, Dominion Metals, and the Government of Newfoundland.<ref>((cite web|url=http://hrgrace.ca/kyle.html |title=Kyle |publisher=HrGrace.ca |access-date=2013-09-28))</ref>  Plans to have the vessel moved to the town of [[Salmon Cove]], Newfoundland, and turned into a museum were later aborted due to financial implications.<ref name="sskyle1"/>

== Background ==
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:OldKyle.jpg|thumb|left|''Kyle'' in service]] -->
''Kyle'', as part of the [[Alphabet Fleet]], was named in accordance with the naming convention of the [[Reid Newfoundland Company]] which stated that their ships must bear the name of a Scottish town.  The ship was launched on 7 April 1913 at [[Swan Hunter]], [[Wallsend]], [[England]], sponsored by Mrs. R.G. Reid, widow of the [[Robert Gillespie Reid|founder]] of the Reid Newfoundland Company.<ref>''Shields Daily News'', 8 April 1913</ref> Though her primary use was the transportation of goods and civilians from Carbonear to Labrador, she also transported soldiers from Newfoundland to Canada during World War II, and was an icebreaker in the winter as she was equipped with a heavy forward end and spoon-shaped bow designed for such purposes. She was known by Newfoundlanders as the "Bulldog of the North".<ref name="sskyle1">((cite web|url=http://www.sskyle.com/ss_kyle.htm |title=SS Kyle|access-date=9 June 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090515110112/http://www.sskyle.com/ss_kyle.htm |archive-date=15 May 2009 ))</ref>  While she may not have been the largest boat in the Reid Company's fleet, she was the fastest, and played a role in ferrying passengers and cargo in Newfoundland and Labrador.

==Ship's statistics==
''Kyle'' is ((convert|220|ft|m)) in length, ((convert|32|ft|m)) wide with a depth of ((convert|18|ft|m)), and a gross tonnage of 1,055 tonnes. ''Kyle'' was built with a 3-cylinder triple-expansion steam engine and had a speed of 22 miles per hour (19 knots). She was  fitted to carry 68 first class and 142 second class passengers. 

On her delivery voyage, ''Kyle'' arrived at [[St. John's, Newfoundland]] on 20 May 1913

==Service history==

''Kyle'' entered service in 1913 on the Northwest Coast run, under the command of Captain Lorenzo Stevenson. In 1915 she was shifted to the route between [[Port aux Basques, Newfoundland]] and [[North Sydney, Nova Scotia]]. In 1923 the Government of Newfoundland assumed control of both the [[Alphabet Fleet]] and the [[Newfoundland Railway]]. Upon being replaced on the Nova Scotia run by the new [[SS Caribou|SS ''Caribou'']], ''Kyle'' was moved in 1926 to the route between Carbonear and Labrador ports. 

After 33 years of service on the Labrador run, ''Kyle'' was sold in 1959 to Arctic Shipping Ltd. of St. John's and renamed ''Arctic Eagle''. Upon sale to Kyle Shipping Ltd. (an affiliate of the Earle Brothers Freighting Company) in 1961, she was renamed ''Kyle'' and used as a sealer.

[[File:NL 2010-04-18 09-57-26 (4532092549).jpg|thumb|The grounded ship in 2010]]
The last master of ''Kyle'' was Captain Eric "Guy" Earle. In 1965 the vessel received such extensive damage from heavy ice that she was considered uneconomic to repair. While out of service, she was driven aground at [[Harbour Grace]] during a storm on 4 February 1967. ''Kyle'' was sold to the Dominion Metals Salvage Company, which determined the vessel to be too expensive to salvage. In 1973 the hulk was purchased by the Government of Newfoundland for $4,000. The hulk was repainted in 1997, but this was only a cosmetic measure, and by 2014 serious structural deterioration left ''Kyle's'' future in serious doubt.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.railwaycoastalmuseum.ca/kyle.htm |title=Railway Coastal Museum - The S.S.
