Message: [QUOTE="Manon Caillard, post: 442868, member: 175400"] Hello Greg, The Fort St George was owned at first by the Adelaide Steamship Company from 1912 to 1921 and she was named [I]SS Wandilla[/I] (she had two sister-ships named [I]SS Warilda[/I] and[I] SS Willochra[/I]). During the WWI, she was redesignated HMAT as she served as both a troop transporter and a hospital ship. She was returned to her owner after the war but the company decided to sell her to Bermuda & West Indies SS Company in 1921. She was renamed [I]SS Fort St George[/I] and, as you said, collided with the Olympic in New York in 1924. She was sold to Lloyd Triestino in 1935 and renamed [I]SS Cesarea[/I]. In 1938, her name changed to [I]SS Arno[/I]. She was sunk during WWII (September 10, 1942) by aerial torpedoes of the Royal Air Force. Hereunder is a picture of the ship as the Fort St George : [ATTACH type="full"]74898[/ATTACH] [URL='http://hatchingcatnyc.com/2018/04/18/minnie-ship-cat-pier55/'](picture credit)[/URL] Hope this helps !
