Launched in April 1934, the Strathmore’s maiden voyage was a cruise and later was placed on the London to Australia express service. It served as a troopship during the Second World War and reverted to the Sydney service via Bombay in 1949. In 1963 it was sold to John S. Latsis, renamed ‘Marianna Latsis’ and was employed on the Mecca pilgrimage run from Karachi. In 1966 it was renamed ‘Henrietta Latsis’ and was eventually broken up at Spezia in 1969.
