The Worcestershire sailed on her maiden voyage from Liverpool to Rangoon in March 1931.
An armed merchant cruiser, later a troop ship, during WW2, she was back on the Burma run in 1949.
She had had a thorough refit, which included the removal of several masts and a more modern, broader funnel.
After 30 years of service she was sold to breakers in 1961.

From a late 1930s Bibby Line promotional booklet (see below).
