The LLANDOVERY CASTLE & LLANSTEPHEN CASTLE were specially built in 1914 for the east coast route, they were near sisters although built at different yards each carrying about 450 passengers in three classes and in the matter of passenger accommodation and deck space were years ahead of their time. They were received with acclamation on the east coast, but after only one or two voyages, the outbreak of war caused their transfer to other routes. LLANSTEPHAN CASTLE survived WW1 & WW2, but LLANDOVERY CASTLE was attacked by a U-boat off Cape Finisterre as early as 8 June 1915, but escaped by means of her superior speed.
