History

Coalship built in 1872 for the Shipping Compagny F.J.Servais, Antwerp, under the name of SELICA. Bought by CGT on July 1876 for her coal service of Cardiff with Saint Nazaire. Renamed ALICE. Reconditioned in Saint Nazaire from October to December 1880, new boilers. Again equipped with new boilers in 1889. Sold on January 10, 1905 to the Shipping Compagny G.Galatioto (Catane), renamed AQUILA. Resold in 1912 to the Shipping Compagny G.Lavarello (Genoa), renamed LUIGINO. Disappeared from the registers in 1917, presumably demolished.
