SS Justicia
SS ''Justicia'' was a British troopship sunk during the First World War. She was laid down as the SS ''Statendam'', a 32,234 gross-ton ocean liner built for the Holland America Line by Harland and Wolff in Belfast. Before the ship was completed she was acquired by the British government and operated on behalf of the shipping controller by the White Star Line.
After several trips as a troopship she was torpedoed by a German U-boat off the British Isles in 1918 while sailing unladen.
==History==
''Statendam'' was launched on 9 July 1914 and after her christening work began on fitting her for service. Before this could be completed, the First World War broke out and work stopped for one year. In 1915 the British government requisitioned the ''Statendam'' for use as a troopship. The ship was at first given to the Cunard Line to manage because of the sinking of the , and the ship was renamed ''Justicia'' (Latin for justice) because of their traditional ship suffix -ia. Cunard had difficulty in assembling a crew for the ''Justicia'', so the ship was reassigned to the White Star Line, who had the crew of the sunken available. The ship’s grey hull was repainted in a dazzle camouflage scheme, and she went on to transport troops successfully.
