Description

This passenger liner was built in 1907 by Barclay Curle and Company of Glasgow. After serving as a troop transport ship during the First World War, she was subsequently refitted and later renamed the Marvale in 1922. The liner was wrecked in 1923 on Freel's Rock off Pine Point on the southern coast of Newfoundland. This photograph was taken for the owners of the ship, Canadian Pacific Ocean Services, and may have been taken to document the state of the liner after its service in WWI and before the 1922 refit.
