SS Eubée was a refrigerated cargo liner that was built in France for Chargeurs Réunis in 1921. She was one of a fleet of similar ships that Chargeurs operated on scheduled services between Hamburg, Le Havre, and Buenos Aires.
In 1936, Eubée was involved in a collision in the South Atlantic with a British refrigerated cargo ship, in which five of her stokers were killed. Eubée's passengers and surviving crew were rescued, and tugboats took her in tow, but two days after the collision she sank.
