Built for the Union-Castle Line, requisitioned for use as a Hospital Ship. She was torpedoed by U-Boat UB32 on 31 Mar 1917 off the Isle of Wright, but able to be salvaged and after the war returned to civilian service.
In 1942 she was sunk by the German commerce raider Michel off Ascension Island in the South Atlantic.
