==Building==
Sir James Laing & Sons Ltd built the ship in 1896 at their Deptford Yard, London as the tramp steamer ''Manica'' for the Ellerman & Bucknall Steamship Co.
Conversion to operate the kite ballon involved fitting "a long sloping deck from forecastle to waist, fixing a dynamo to drive a hydrogen compressor", and the installation of a winch. A "wireless telegraphy house" and quarters for the naval officers and men were added.〔Conrad Cato, 1919, ''The Navy Everywhere'', pp. 144-145〕
