Remarks
Built for the Ellerman City Line, her usual route in peace time was Glasgow-Liverpool-Port Said-Suez-Bombay-Karachi. The outbreak of the 1914-1918 World War saw the government requisition a large number of the Ellerman fleet for use as troop carriers, munitions carriers, or for conversion into war ships. The Ellerman group of companies continued to operate a skeletal service with the ships it had left. While 67 Ellerman Line ships were lost during WW 1, the City of York was one of those that survived.
Returned to her owners, she was in 1921 transferred to the New York, India service. In 1936 City of York was sold to the Japanese for scrap iron.
