Glenavy

The second and smaller of the two three-masted motorships which were built in Govan.
 
Glenavy was sold to the Pacific Steam Navigation Company in 1923, renamed Lagarto, and was fitted with the new airless injection system which became standard on oil engined ships. During the Second World War she serviced the South American routes.
 
In December 1947 she arrived back in Liverpool with engine trouble, was laid up at Birkenhead and, subsequently, broken up at Troon in 1948.
