SS Wakool was a refrigerated cargo liner that was launched in England in 1898. She belonged to the Blue Anchor Line until 1910, when P&O took over the company. In 1913 a Japanese company bought the ship and renamed her Kwanto Maru. In 1917 the French government bought her and renamed her Le Myre de Villers. The French government sold her in 1923, and she was scrapped in Italy in 1925.
