SS Costa Rica was a Dutch passenger steamship. She was built in 1910 as Prinses Juliana for Stoomvaart Maatschappij Nederland (SMN, or "Netherland Line"), which ran scheduled passenger and mail services between Amsterdam and Java.
In 1930 Koninklijke Nederlandse Stoomboot-Maatschappij (KNSM or "Royal Netherlands Steamship Company") bought Prinses Juliana and renamed her Costa Rica. KNMS operated scheduled passenger and mail services between Amsterdam or IJmuiden and the Caribbean.
She was an Allied troop ship in both world wars. In the First World War the Netherlands were neutral, but in 1918 the United Kingdom seized Prinses Juliana under angary. In the Second World War Costa Rica became an Allied troop ship after the German invasion of the Netherlands in 1940. She took troops from Great Britain and South Africa to Egypt.
During the German invasion of Greece in April 1941, Costa Rica evacuated troops from the Peloponnese. German aircraft bombed her in the Sea of Crete. Royal Navy ships rescued her crew and the 2,600 troops she was carrying, and she sank without loss of life.
