Remarks
A French passenger ship built for Societe Generale de Transports Maritimes. Used by the French on their South America service, in 1915 she was lent to the British Admiralty to use as a Hospital Ship, managed by the Union-Castle Mail Steam Ship Company.
In 1919 she was returned to her owners, and in 1933 scrapped at Savona.
