Footnote
RMS Corinthic - built for the White Star Line, at Belfast, Harland and Wolff 1902, voyages primarily to New Zealand. HMS Imperieuse - one of six ships bearing the name, this 'cap' probably relates to the iron clad battleship which launched in 1883, renamed but reverted to Imperieuse in 1914
