Ship name

Has this article the correct name? Lloyd's Register does not list a ship called Gaetano Donizetti. However, it does list a ship called Donizetti, which fits the description on the "Wrecksite" and "Invisible Graves" websites. Donizetti was a motor ship, which would mean that the "SS" prefix used in the article is wrong.

Wrecksite cites Charles Hocking's Dictionary of Disasters at Sea during the Age of Steam. Please will an editor who has a copy of that book check the name that Hocking used for the ship?
