Steamship in Ireland, dating from 1918

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.
