She was part of the Maiden City Line managed by Thomson, Dickie & Co. After being pulled from the beach at Algoa Bay in 1903 she was towed home by the Tug Zwart Zee to Greenock in Scotland, NOT England, where she arrived on 26th April, 1904 and she was repaired by her builders. She sailed again just 14 weeks later. She was sold to the Germans in 1910 but was severely damaged off the Falklands inJuly 1913 and under a jury rigged sail, took 40 days to reach Montivideo. From there she was towed back to Hamburg by the tug 'Thames' and turned into a Depot ship for seamen in Hamburg Harbour. In that same year, the Imperial German Navy commandeered her and took her to Heligoland to be decked over and provided with boiler and generator, then she was taken through the Kiel Canal to Eckernfiorde in the Baltic on 10th September 1915 where she provided accommodation for Uboat officers whist they trained.

She WAS holed and when towed clear, was taken into drydock in Lieth for repair. She should have returned to Hamburg but instead, was handed over to the Shipping Federation who took her to the West India Docks, London. She remained the Waltraute until 1922, when she was named Vindicatrix.'].
