I was planned as a collier, but revised on the stocks.
I was launched in 1914 at Blyth.
Had 3 different names.
2 different owners.
I took part in the Dardenelles campaign in WW1 under my first name.
Med ops and North Atlantic convoys in WW2 under my second name.
Sold to my last owner in 1946 and changed name for the 3rd time.
Scrapped in 1950.

What were my names?

Slight cheat, I'm afraid - I had to look up the third name, but I did know which ship it was.

Still learning. Didn't know there was a third name.:redf:

You didn't cheat, one of the objectives is for you (or anyone else interested) is to search the internet and thereby find other interesting facts which hopefully can be employed as other quizzes.:ernae:

This ship was sold in 1946 but her age and the cost of the refit to a new form was prohibitive and she was scrapped in 1950.
Her new name was the Anita 1.
