QSMV Dominion Monarch

QSMV Dominion Monarch was a UK passenger and refrigerated cargo liner. Her name was a reference to the Dominion of New Zealand. The prefix "QSMV" stood for quadruple-screw motor vessel. The ship was built in England in 1937–39, and when new, she set a number of records for her size and power. She operated between Britain and New Zealand via Australia in civilian service 1938–40 and 1948–62 and was a troop ship 1940–47. She spent half of 1962 in the Port of Seattle as a floating hotel for the Century 21 Exposition, and was then scrapped in Japan.
