'''''Strathmore''''' was a British ship in the 1870s.

On 1 July 1875, while on a voyage from [Dundee](/source/Dundee) in the United Kingdom to [Otago](/source/Otago), New Zealand, the ship was wrecked off the [Crozet Islands](/source/Crozet_Islands).<ref name="Times260276">{{Cite newspaper The Times |title=The Strathmore |date=23 February 1876 |issue=28562 |page=8 |column=D }}</ref><ref name="Times280276">{{Cite newspaper The Times |title=The Strathmore |date=28 February 1876 |issue=28563 |page=4 |column=F }}</ref><ref name=AVC /> The passengers and crew were considered dead after the ship did not arrive at its final destination. However, 44 crew and passengers managed to survive on a small island by eating eggs and geese, albatrosses, and other seabirds. They also ate root vegetables and fish.<ref name=AVC>{{Cite news |url= https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=MMMAAS01:210137066:mpeg21:a00007|work= Algemeene visscherij-courant|title=Varia. |date=2 April 1876|via=[Delpher](/source/Delpher)|language=nl}}</ref> Five people died because of the low temperature at the island.<ref name=AVC />
