She left Southampton on 10 April 1912 with calls at Cherbourg and Queenstown, struck an iceberg late on 14 April, and sank in the early hours of 15 April with heavy loss of life.

In May 1918 she rammed and sank the German submarine U-103, one of the few merchant ships credited with such a kill. Sailors called her \"Old Reliable\", and she had already shown her luck in April 1912, when she was the ship that steamed to Titanic's position and took on survivors.
