[Harland and Wolff Collection]
The first of five ships built in 1920 by Harland & Wolff at Glasgow. At the time the class was the largest oil engined ships in the world.  She was the first of four from Govan, while a fifth, Glenshiel, came from Belfast. She however differed slightly in having the No.3 hatch forward of the bridge.
 
In April 1949 she was transferred to Blue Funnel Line and renamed Deucalion  for deployment on the Australia - Far East service.
 
She was sold to British Iron & Steel Company for scrap in 1956 and was delivered to Thomas W Ward's breakers yard on 11th
