Her war service included a period when she was a Prisoner of War accommodation vessel moored at Ryde, Isle of Wright, before being used as a troop carrier.
In 1917 the Allan Line was sold to Canadian Pacific, and returned to commercial service on the Canadian route. In 1920 she was converted to a cabin/third class configuration, and in 1922 was renamed Marburn. She remained in service until 1927, and in late 1928 was sent to the breakers.
