History
The ship was built by Cammell Laird of Birkenhead and launched in 1906. She was one of an order for two ships, the other being Immingham. She undertook her trials in December 1906 and was reported of achieving a speed of 17.25 knots for 24 hours, and over 6 hours, a speed of 18.4 knots. She was built with accommodation for 60 first-class passengers in two-berth cabins, and 400 third-class passengers. She arrived in Grimsby on 6 January 1907 for her first voyage.
In 1923 she passed to the London and North Eastern Railway and was sold in 1932 to the Tramp Shipping Development Company. She was renamed Velos, Arafat, and Velos again. She was scrapped in Italy in 1938.
