Over the years she changed hands a number of times, and when being advertised in 1899 was stated to have capacity for 4,474 tons coal, 22,888 bales of jute, and 118,500 cases of oil. In 1932 she sank the Polish steamer Niemen in a collision in Skagerrak but was cleared of all guilt. In 1942 she was confiscated by the South African government and thereafter traded from East London. She was finally sold for breaking in 1959.
