Seaplane tender converted from an Isle of Man steamer at the beginning of WWI. Took part in several abortive attacks on North East German coast before joining the Allied naval forces at Gallipoli. An aircraft from this ship was the first to sink an enemy vessel with an air dropped torpedo.

Later in the war she was sunk by a Turkish gun battery at the island of Kastellorizo, South West Turkey.
