Notes
sister ship: Melita
SS Minnedosa was one of a pair of transatlantic steam ocean liners that were built in the United Kingdom, launched in 1917 and operated by Canadian Pacific until 1935. Her sister ship was Melita.
In 1935 Flotte Riuniti Cosulich-Lloyd Sabaudo obtained both ships, renamed them, and converted them into troop ships for the Italian government. Minnedosa was renamed Piemonte, and in 1936 passed to Lloyd Triestino.
In 1942 a Royal Navy submarine torpedoed Piemonte, but she was beached and refloated. On 1943 she was damaged in an Allied air raid and then scuttled. In 1949 she was raised and scrapped.
