SS E.M. Clark was an American merchant ship of the first half of the 20th century. A steam tanker, she was laid down in 1921 at the Federal Shipbuilding Company in Kearny, New Jersey, and entered service with Imperial Oil Ltd of Vancouver, British Columbia as Victolite. She was sold to Standard Oil of New Jersey and New York in 1926, and renamed E.M. Clark.[2] She was sunk off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina on March 18, 1942, by the German U-boat U-124. The shipwreck is readily accessible to recreational technical divers, resting in 260 feet (79 m) of water.[3]
The shipwreck was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
