SS Minnedosa was one of a pair of transatlantic steam ocean liners built in the United Kingdom, launched in 1917 and operated by Canadian Pacific until 1935; her sister ship was Melita. Hamburg America Line had ordered the pair in 1913, but the outbreak of the First World War led Canadian Pacific to buy the partly built ships. Minnedosa was built in Glasgow by Barclay Curle, with her engines installed at Belfast by Harland and Wolff, and had three screws driven by two triple-expansion engines and a low-pressure turbine. She was 520 feet long and 13,972 gross tons as built. In 1935 she became the Italian troopship Piemonte, was torpedoed in 1942, scuttled in 1943 and scrapped in 1949.

Building, machinery
A pair of four-cylinder triple-expansion steam engines drove her port and starboard screws. Exhaust steam from their low-pressure cylinders powered a low-pressure steam turbine that drove her middle screw.
Building, speed
Between them, her three engines gave her a top speed of 16+1⁄2 knots (30.6 km/h)
