Until 1901, she was the largest ship in the world, and her route was from Liverpool or Southampton to New York and back. She cost one million pounds to build. When war broke out in 1914, she was commissioned into the Royal Navy as an armed merchant cruiser. She sailed from Scotland in August 1914 to patrol the waters from Scotland to the Faroes.
