Built by Vickers Ltd., for the Orient Line Mail service between England and Australia.
At the time a feature of the ship was "ample provision of single berth rooms, of which, it is claimed, she has a larger number than any other steamer afloat."
Length 658ft, breadth 75ft. 20,000 tons register.
I don't think this vessel has featured on a stamp.
Information from reverse of cigarette card (Wills Ships and Shipping)
