Hi Peter Welcome to the Mariners List. As Ted said she was sold to a Spanish company in 1901 and renamed. Actually she was removed from the British Register at the end of 1900, so this might help with the dates. >From shipping reports in the British Papers the voyages I found are as follows. August 1898 sailed from Kurrachee (Karachi ?) for South Africa and on to the UK with grain. Reported 16 August. Sept 22/1898 Sailed from Manchester to Buenos Aires. Jan 1899 Arrived Buenos Aires, seems like a long time may not be the same voyage or did a detour. May 1899 Arrived back in the UK with live stock. Sept 1899 sailed from UK to Delaware Dec 1899 Philadelphia to Havana she was in collision with a dredger this may have delayed her journey as she returned to port for repairs. Oct 1900 Arrived Queenstown (Cobh, Cork) from Baltimore. The Karachi to UK voyage with grain seems the most likely, Although a detour to Jakarta or Christmas Island would have put 3500 - 4000 miles to the journey. Maybe some on the list could work out the time it would have taken to steam from Karachi to the UK and see if such a detour was possible ?.
