SS Nubia (1854)
SS Nubia was a passenger steamer, built by John Laird Sons & Company in Birkenhead in 1854 for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company at a cost of £65,750. It was launched on 28 February 1854 and commenced formal service between Southampton and Alexandria on 4 September 1854. It was briefly used in the Crimean War later that year before continuing operations between Suez and Calcutta, passing through the port of Aden en route. In October 1864, it encountered trouble during a cyclone in Calcutta and was driven ashore near King Oudh's palace and had to be refloated. From 1870, it was used for delivering freight between Liverpool and Bombay, and then it entered mail service in Alexandria from October 1872–3. In 1873, the ship was deemed unfit for service during an inspection in Galle, but after two months of repairs in Bombay resumed service to Australia. In 1877, the steamer was sold for £8,250 to the London Schools Board and resold in 1906 to Dutch shipbreakers.
SS Nubia (1895)
The SS Nubia was a passenger steamer built for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company by Caird & Company of Greenock at a cost of £100,000 and launched on 13 December 1894. Originally named SS Singapore, it was 430 ft by 49 ft 4, with a three cylinder triple expansion steam engine and a top speed of 14.5 knots. It had a capacity of 90 First Class and 62 Second Class passengers and also carried cargo. The steamer made its maiden voyage to Calcutta on 1 March 1895, but ran aground 18 days later in Banden Fukon Bay, Aden. It was then refloated and repaired and commenced operations. In January 1899, five crewmen of the North Lancashire Regiment died after a cholera outbreak believed to have been caused by fruit taken on board in Port Said. Between 1899 and 1903 it was used for transportation and treating patients during the Boer War. The ship was eventually wrecked on 20 June 1915 about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) north of Colombo.

Nubia
Nubia is a region along the Nile river located in what is today northern Sudan and southern Egypt. It was one of the earliest civilizations of ancient Northeastern Africa, with a history that can be traced from at least 2000 B.C. onward (through Nubian monuments and artifacts, as well as written records from Egypt and Rome), and was home to one of the African empires. There were a number of large Nubian kingdoms throughout the Postclassical Era, the last of which collapsed in 1504, when Nubia became divided between Egypt and the Sennar sultanate, resulting in the Arabization of much of the Nubian population. Nubia was again united within Ottoman Egypt in the 19th century, and within the Kingdom of Egypt from 1899 to 1956.
The name Nubia is derived from that of the Noba people, nomads who settled the area in the 4th century following the collapse of the kingdom of Meroë. The Noba spoke a Nilo-Saharan language, ancestral to Old Nubian. Old Nubian was mostly used in religious texts dating from the 8th and 15th centuries AD. Before the 4th century, and throughout classical antiquity, Nubia was known as Kush, or, in Classical Greek usage, included under the name Ethiopia (Aithiopia).

Fictional character biography
Nubia
In Wonder Woman (vol. 1) #204, (January 1973), Diana (Wonder Woman) has her memories restored by the Amazons and is soon confronted by an armored female warrior who challenges her to single combat. The two initially wrestle, then face each other with swords. Diana and the intruder seem evenly matched until the intruder knocks the sword from Diana's hands, but then hesitates to kill her. The dark-skinned stranger introduces herself as Nubia, the one true Wonder Woman, and tells Diana that they will meet again someday to decide which of them has the right to the title. Diana's mother, Queen Hippolyta, secretly believes she recognizes Nubia, who returns to her own Floating Island.

Tush
by: ZZ TopI been up, I been down
Take my word, my way around
I ain't askin' for much
I said, "Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some tush"
I been bad, I been good
Dallas, Texas, Hollywood
I ain't askin' for much
I said, "Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some tush"
Take me back, way back home
Not by myself, not alone
I ain't askin' for much
I said,"Lord, take me downtown
