RMS Orontes was a steam ocean liner of the Orient Steam Navigation Company that was launched in 1902 and scrapped in 1925.
Orontes was a troop ship in the First World War. In 1922 she was sold for conversion into an exhibition ship, but the venture fell through so Orient Line repossessed her. Orontes was scrapped in 1925.
This was the first of two Orient Line ships called Orontes. The second was the 19,970 GRT turbine steamship SS Orontes that was launched in 1929 and scrapped in 1962.[1]
