Remarks
Originally built for the Russian Government and called the 'Mongolia", the Western Australian Government bought the ship from its then Danish owners to work the North West of the state, Found to be unsuitable she was sent to the UK to be sold, but with the outbreak of war she was taken over by the Admiralty and converted into a fast Hospital Ship. Worked the Southampton to Le Havre route and up river to Rouen.
Attacked by a U-Boat on 20 Mar 1918, fortunately the torpedo missed and she escaped. At the conclusion of the war she was sold to foreign owners.
