''Kowloon No.1'' was a cargo ship that was built in 1943 as ''Empire Dirk'' by Ailsa Shipbuilding Co Ltd, Troon, Ayrshire, United Kingdom for the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT). Spending the war years in home waters, she was sold into merchant service in 1951 and renamed ''Nancy Moller'', and then ''Mount Austin'' after a further sale later that year. In 1956, she was sold to the Australian Government and renamed ''Coolabah''. She was sold to Hong Kong in 1956 and renamed ''Troon Breeze''. A sale in 1964 to Panama saw her renamed ''Cachupin'' before she was sold back to Hong Kong in 1966 and renamed ''Kowloon No.1''. She served until 1967 when she ran aground off Hachinohe, Japan.
