P and O Steamship SS Macedonia alongside a dock, probably in Adelaide; South Australia., 1909. Macedonia was the fourth of 10 'M Class' P&O passenger ships to be built before the start of WW1. Macedonia served with P&O as a passenger liner until being requisitioned by the Admiralty in 1914. After conversion to an Armed Merchant Cruiser, she served as HMS Macedonia during WW1, survived, and was returned to service with P&O until broken up in 1931.
