SS Metagama was a passenger liner completed in 1915 for Canadian Pacific Railway to extend passenger service from Saint John, New Brunswick to Liverpool. After serving as a troopship thru World War I she resumed passenger service in November 1918 until 1931. The ship was then laid up at Southend by the Great Depression until scrap metal prices rose in response to German rearmament.^[1]
