SS Mongolia (1922)

SS Mongolia was a steam turbine, twin-screw passenger and cargo liner ordered by P and O from Armstrong Whitworth on 22 November 1918 and launched on 24 August 1922 after postwar refit work delayed construction. She cost an estimated one million pounds and entered the mail service from London to Sydney in 1923, converting to oil fuel in 1928. In 1938 she moved to the New Zealand Shipping Company as Rimutaka, carrying passengers between London and Wellington. Sold in 1950, she worked as the immigrant ship Europa, the Bahamas cruise ship Nassau and finally the Mexican-flag Acapulco, before being broken up in Japan in 1964 and 1965.
