DIOGENES / MATAROA 1922 was 12,341 gross tons, length 500.4ft x beam 63.2ft, one funnel, two masts, twin screw, speed 13.5 knots. Accommodation for 130-1st and 422-3rd class passengers. Built by Harland & Wolff, Belfast as the DIOGENES for the Aberdeen Line, she was launched on 2nd Mar.1922 and started her maiden voyage from London to Brisbane on 4th July 1922. Chartered to Shaw, Savill & Albion Line in June 1926, she was renamed MATAROA, converted from coal to oil fuel and given a speed of 15 knots. She then started sailings from Southampton to Wellington via Panama. In 1931 she was converted to carry 131-cabin class passengers and in 1932 came under the ownership of Shaw, Savill & Albion Line. In Nov.1940 she became a troopship mainly to South Africa and was then used to carry meat cargoes from South America to the UK. In 1944 she was used to carry US troops to Northern Ireland in preparation for the Normandy Invasion. Irish pressure in Southern Ireland and the USA decreed that no Americans of Irish descent should go to the North in case of cross border friction, so the US Army sent all black troops to Ireland. In 1948 the ship resumed commercial service with accommodation for 372-tourist class passengers and she made her last sailing on 21st Nov.1956. On 29th Mar.1957 she arrived at Faslane for scrapping.
