Owned by Great Western Railways for service as a cross channel ferry between Fishguard in Wales and Rosslare in Ireland.
In 1914 it was one of the first ships taken over by the Ministry of Defence, and fitted out as a Military Hospital. It spent from 19 Aug 1914 till 29 May 1919 full filling it's role as a Hospital Ship. Staff comprised 4 Medical Officers, 4 Nurses and 26 other staff. She was capable of accommodating 16 Officers, 23 Cots and 155 Berths.
After the war it returned to its normal role, and was renamed Fishguard in 1932, and a year later sold for scrap.
