The ORONTES was a 9,028 gross ton ship, length 156,54m x beam 17,73m, one funnel, two masts, twin screw and a speed of 18 knots. Built by the Fairfield Shipbuilding Co, Glasgow, she was launched for the Orient Line. Her maiden voyage started 24th Oct.1902 when she left London for Suez, Melbourne and Sydney. In Oct.1916 she became a troopship and resumed her Australia service on 25th Oct.1919 with calls at Gibraltar, Toulon, Port Said, Colombo, Fremantle, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and an extension to Brisbane. Laid up in the Thames in 1921, she was sold the following year for conversion into an exhibition ship and renamed BRITISH TRADE. Repossessed five months later by Orient Line and reverted to ORONTES. Scrapped in 1926.
