Remarks
The outbreak of the 1914-1918 World War saw the government requisition a large number of the Ellerman fleet for use as troop carriers, munitions carriers, or for conversion into war ships. The Ellerman group of companies continued to operate a skeletal service with the ships it had left.
Renamed SS Karachi Maru in 1933 for voyage to shipbreakers in Japan.
