The "Ioannina" was built in 1896 by Barclay Curle & Co, Glasgow as the "Dunolly Castle" for the Castle Line of Liverpool. She was a 4,167 gross ton ship, length 368ft x beam 46.3ft, one funnel, two masts, single screw and a speed of 12 knots. Launched on 4/11/1896 she served with the Castle Line until 1905 when she was disposed of for being too slow and having a reputation of rolling heavily.
She was sold to the East Asiatic Co of Denmark and renamed "Juliette"
In 1907 she was transferred to the subsidiary Russian company, Russian American Line. Renamed "Arconia", she sailed from Libau to Rotterdam and New York for four round voyages in 1907 and the following year was sold to German owners and renamed "Hittfeld".
In 1913 she was again sold to the National Greek Line, renamed "Ioannina" and refitted to accommodate 60-1st, 50-2nd and 1,750-3rd class passengers. She commenced her first voyage for these owners on 30/10/1913 when she left Piraeus for Kalamata, Patras and New York. She continued on the Mediterranean - New York service until 15/12/1917 when she was torpedoed and sunk off the Azores by a German submarine.

DUNOLLY CASTLE was built in 1897 by Barclay, Curle & Co. at Glasgow with a tonnage of 4167grt, a length of 368ft, a beam of 46ft 4in and a service speed of 14 knots. Completed as an Intermediate steamer in January 1897 she proved to be too small and susceptible to heavy rolling in a cross sea. A story was put about that of all the ships anchored in Table Bay the Dunolly Castle was the only one visibly seen to roll in the gentle swell. She was transferred to Union-Castle in 1900 and was sold to the East Asiatic Co, with the Arundel Castle, in 1905 and renamed Juliette. In April 1907 she was transferred to the Russian American Line for their Libau - Rotterdam - New York service and renamed Arconia but after only four summer voyages she was replaced by the Estonia, formerly Bibby's Yorkshire, and sold. Purchased by Continental Rhederi A. G. of Hamburg she became the Hittfeld but only until 1910 when she was re-sold to D. M. Los of Pireaus and renamed Eleni. In 1913 she was sold to the National Steam Navigation Co. of Greece, was renamed Ionnina and made her first sailing Pireaus - Kalmata - Patras - New York on 30th October. On 17th December 1917 she was torpedoed by U-156 between the Azores and Madeira.
