Justicia (SS)
Steamship in Ireland, dating from 1918
This 32,234-ton steel steamship was originally built by Harland & Wolff for the Holland-Amerika Line as the Statendam, a liner capable of carrying 3,430 passengers. It was powered by triple-expansion engines, allowing for speeds up to 18 knots. The Statendam was launched on 9 July 1914 and was due to serve on transatlantic passenger service routes, but the British Government requisitioned the vessel and changed its name to Justicia, earmarking it for service as a troopship in 1917.
