Remarks
During WW1, she was initially used by the French for use as an auxiliary cruiser, but later transferred to the British Flag for use as a Hospital Ship. She carried 3 Medical officers, 4 Nurses and 27 others, to service up 6 Officer patients, 19 in Cots and 138 in Berths. She served in this role from 7 May 1915 to 5 Mar 1919.
Recovered by her owners in 1919 she was, along with her sister the Rouen, the mainstay of the French side of the Newhaven-Dieppe cross channel service during the 1920's and 30's.
The Newhaven was taken over by the Germans in 1940 and used as a troop transport in the Baltic during World War II. Recovered in 1945, her refitting as a passenger vessel was considered too costly and she was sold for scrap in 1949.
