Remarks
Owned by Great Eastern Railways, her original name was Munich before it was changed in 1914 to St Denis. She operated on the Harwich - Hook of Holland route from 1908 until she was requisitioned. She was used as a Hospital Ship from 12 Oct 1914 until 18 Oct 1919. Medical staff numbered 4 Officers, 6 nurses and 28 enlisted personnel to service 14 Officers, 108 enlisted men as cot patients and 109 in berths.
In 1923 ownership changed to London & North Eastern Railway Company, Harwich. In 1940, she was used in the evacuation from Holland but became trapped by the advancing Germans and was scuttled at Rotterdam to avoid capture. The Germans raised her on 1 Nov 1940 withthe intention of using her as a minelayer, naming her Barbara. However, the conversion was never completed due to the poor state of her machinery, and in 1945 when the Allies recaptured her, she was used as an accommodation ship in Kiel until 1949. She was finally scrapped in 1950.
