D&W Henderson of Glasgow built the ship in 1896 as a cargo ship for Lamport & Holt Line. She was a transport ship in the Second Boer War 1899–1900. The Admiralty bought her in 1915 and commissioned her as a kite balloon ship. In 1917 she became a depot ship at Scapa Flow and in 1919 she was returned to Lamport & Holt. In 1920 Mrs G Visalia bought her, renamed her Okeanos and registered her in Piraeus. In 1924 Ditta Luigi Pittaluga Vapori bought her, renamed her Arenzano and registered her in Genoa.
