| Comments: | Designed as a turret deck ship a type of merchant ship with an unusual hull. |
| The design was quite common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries | |
| The hulls of turret deck vessels were rounded and stepped inward above their waterlines. This gave some advantages in strength and allowed them to pay lower canal tolls under the tonnage measurement rules then in effect. The type ceased to be built after those rules changed. | |
