Built by Gray's of West Hartlepool in 1898 for the Chellew Steam Navigation Co. Ltd. of Truro, a firm set up in the early 1880s by Richard Berryman Chellew of that town. She was employed in the classic 'coal out, grain home' trade of that era, loading coal in south Wales for the Med. and returning with cereals from various Black Sea ports. Holed up in the Baltic for much of 1st World War, she was sold to a Greec company in 1922 and wrecked off the Tunisian coast six years later.
