Remarks

Built for G Thompson & Co Ltd, Glasgow, she was on her maiden voyage to Brisbane when war broke out. Requisitioned two days after her arrival by the Commonwealth, whose control ended 2 Jun 1917.

A member of the first convoy from Albany, she completed seven voyages from Australia with troops. In 1919 she was used to repatriate Australian troops and during the period 1914 - 1919 she carried 38,439 troops to or from the war.

Post war she was overhauled and resumed the Aberdeen Line's London - Australia route, before changing hands several times between wars.

During WW2 she was again used as a troopship before another transformation in 1945 back to civilian use before being sent to shipbreakers in Antwerp in May 1954.
