The second of her name was built as a private pleasure yacht in 1871 and originally named Lady Ina. At the beginning of the First World War she was requisitioned by the Admiralty and renamed HMS Ceylon. This vessel served in the Mediterranean and the Dardanelles from June 1915 to May 1916 before being returned to her owners.
