History

edit

She was built by William Denny and Brothers of Dumbarton and launched on 11 November 1919.

On 15 January 1922 she collided with the breakwater at Holyhead harbour, and was laid up from 1924. She was then only used infrequently, typically during holiday periods.

In 1935 she was scrapped.
