Remarks
Originally built for Norddeutscher Lloyd, Bremen, and named SS Hessen. She sailed into Melbourne on 3 Sep 1914, unaware that war had broken out, and was seized by the Commonwealth, who renamed her Bulla. Manned by Australian officers and crew she was transferred on 15 Apr 1918 to the Commonwealth Government Line who in 1926 sold her to Schuchmann Wilhelm of Hamburg. Renamed Weissesee, she was sunk during an air raid at Hamburg on 25 Jul 1943. Raised in 1949 she was then broken up.
During WW1 she completed four journeys with artillery and medical staff to Egypt or Europe, a voyage as a troop ship in early 1917, and one as a cargo ship without passengers.
