1916 The Australian Government bought 15 British steamers which it renamed; these formed the nucleus of the Commonwealth Government Line to provide a regular service between Britain and Australia.[1]

By 1927 it was understood the Government had been making heavy losses over several years and was seeking to dispose of the ships[2]

The fleet was subsequently purchased by Lord Kylsant[3][4]
