Built by Scott's Shipbuilding & Engineering at Greenock, Scotland,
Letitia was launched in February 1912, and made her maiden voyage, from
Glasgow to Montréal, on 4 May 1912.
During World War I, Letitia was taken over for use as a hospital ship.
While serving in that role, she was wrecked on rocks at Portuguese Cove,
Chebucto Head, Nova Scotia on 1 August 1917. Although she was on
repatriation mission, carrying home wounded Canadian troops, there were
no fatalities.
