Renamed AUBE, brought into service by the CGT on January 5, 1917. Resold on April 10, 1922 to the Shipowner F.W.Brown, London, taking again the name of ROSEMOUNT. A new resold the same year to the Shipowner D.H. Mapes Jr, Montreal. Renamed AUBE in 1923 by D.H. Mapes Jr and put on the name of AUBE Steamship for a chartering to the CGT. Demolished in 1926.
