Several ships have been named Tigris for the Tigris River:
Tigris (boat) was a reed boat built and sailed in 1977 by Thor Heyerdahl and a crew to demonstrate the feasibility of ancient migration and trade between Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley Civilization.
HCS Tigris (1829), a brig of 258 tons (bm) and 10 guns, was built at the Bombay Dockyard for the EIC's naval arm.[1] (One source misnames her as Tigress.[2]) She sailed under Commander William Igglesden and 2nd Lieut. George Borlase Kempthorne from Bombay to Mer Island, arriving in July 1836, in search of survivors from Charles Eaton (1833 ship).[3] The Indian Navy sold her in 1862.[4]
PS Tigris (1836), of 109 tons (bm), built by Laird & Co.,[5] was a flat-bottomed, iron, paddle steamer of 26HP.[6] She was disassembled, shipped to the Bay of Antioch, carried overland, and reassembled in 1835 on the Lake of Antioch for the English Euphrates expedition, together with PS Euphrates (1836).[6] She was wrecked at Anah on 21 May 1836. (Euphrates completed the descent.)
