Sold again in 1912, she was renamed SS Imo and was involved in the 1917 Halifax Explosion. She was renamed Guvernøren in 1918 and was wrecked in 1921.
  • SS Runic was a passenger liner launched in 1900 at Harland and Wolff for the White Star Line. She was sold to Christian Salvesen in 1930, converted to a whale factory ship and renamed New Sevilla. She was torpedoed and sunk in 1940.
