Remarks
A Belgium owned ship, she was initially a transport for Allied troops, although in late August 1914 she evacuated 200 wounded from the Osten garrison to Dunkirk and Caen. On 7 Oct 1914 she participated in the evacuation to safety of public officials and refugees before being converted to a Hospital Ship at Le Havre on 17 Oct 1914 after which she was sent to Dunkirk to act as a floaing hospital.
From 26 Aug 1915 she was loaned to the British and used as a hospital ship between Calais, Boulogne, Dieppe and England. Carried 4 Medical Officers, 4 Nurses and 26 other medical staff. Could accommodate 16 Officers, 18 in cots, and 131 in berths. One unusual trip was on 8 Aug 1916 when she arrived at Gravesend with exchanged prisoners of war. By 31 Dec 1918 she had completed 431 crossings of the channel carrying wounded.
In mid January 1919 she underwent a refitt before being returned to Regie voor Maritiem Transport Ootende on 25 Jan 1919. She was returned to the Ostend-Dover service, and after seeral small interuptions to service as old at auction on 17 Oct 1934 to Van Heyghen, a Belgium ship breaker who broke her up during 1935.
