The Athenia was an 8,668-ton, twin-screw British liner built by Vickers Sons & Maxim, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, and owned by the Anchor-Donaldson Line. It had two decks, one funnel, four masts and triple expansion engines. The liner was capable of reaching 13.5 knots and operated on the transatlantic passenger service between Glasgow and Canada. It was originally built as a cargo ship, but was converted to a liner in 1905. The Athenia was considered to be one of the first proper ‘cabin’ liners
