[Cargo Liners: An Illustrated History]
Launched as the Montezuma for Elder, Dempster & Co but from the onset had engine problems. Transferred to Glen Line in September 1915 she was the company's first motor vessel.
 
On 6th February 1918, during a passage from Singapore to London, she was torpedoed by UC-54 30 miles north-east of Cap Bon in the notorious narrows between Sicily and Tunisia where many merchant ships were to meet their end during both world wars.
