The second of the Imperial Star Class to be
delivered in 1935 from Harland & Wolffs yard at Belfast, powered by two
10-Cylinder Burmeister & Wain engines they must have been somewhat of an
engineering challenge. The vessels varied considerably with their choice of
power plants and other structural changes. The build dates extended over some
13 years, some of those being lost and replaced during WWII.
