''Ljusneälf'' was a cargo ship that was built in 1917 as ''Tilburg'' by L Smit & Zoon, Kinderdijk for Dutch owners. She was sold to German owners in 1922 and renamed ''Ljusneälf''. A sale in 1938 saw her renamed ''Hubert Schröder''. She was seized by the Allies in April 1945, passed to the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT) and renamed ''Empire Conquest''.

In 1947, ''Empire Conquest'' was sold into merchant service and renamed ''Southern Island''. In 1951, she was sold to Italian owners and renamed ''Verax''. In 1960, she was sold to Panamanian owners and renamed ''Costance'', serving until 1966 when she ran aground at Lampedusa Island, Italy and was declared a total loss. Provided by Wikipedia
