Harland and Wolff - Shipbuilding and Engineering Works

Sister ship to the Rangitira, she had been designed, along with her sister ship, by captain RJ Noal ( Shaw Savill & Albion's marine super ) to carry immigrants to Australia / New Zealand via the cape of good hope, and return with frozen meat. She had an extra large funnel to aid a draught for her boilers, and to keep the smoke of the decks. She was a twin screw vessel, capable of doing 12.5 knot. She has accommodation for six first class passengers and a thousand steerage passengers.

In 1911 she was engaged on the Liverpool / Fremantle / Wellington service. She was still on this run in 1913.

In September 1916 under the command of captain R Lewis she took the 17th regiment reinforcements to the Gallipoli campaign and in April she took the 24th reinforcements out.

In 1939 she was sold to the admiralty as a dummy battleship and re-named H.M.S Revenge, having her stern altered to resemble that of a cruiser, of the 'Royal Sovereign ' class ( which she was to retain for the rest of her life ) she was later transferred to the 'Ministry of War Transport ' and used as a refrigerated cargo vessel with the new name of Empire Pakeh' and she was managed by Shaw Savill & Albion once again.

In 1946 Shaw Savill & Albion bought her back from the M.O.W.T. and she reverted back to her original name of Pakeha.

She was sold to Thomas W Ward of Briton Ferry in 1950 and scrapped.
