CHAMPERICO was built in 1911 by Caledon Shipbuilding Co. at Dundee with a tonnage of 2548grt, a length of 290ft 1in, a beam of 41ft 8in and a service speed of 12 knots. She was built as the Andorinha for Yeoward Bros. of Liverpool for their Liverpool - Madeira - Canary Island service. Acquired by PSNC and renamed Champerico in 1917 she was placed on coastal passenger services along the Peruvian and Central American coasts. She was sold to Torres y Ward Cia. of Valparaiso in 1934 and renamed Vina del Mar after a local holiday resort. During the 1930's she was transferred to the Chilean State Railways and in 1950 was transferred with the entire fleet into Empresa Maritima del Estado de Chilena, the State Marine. It is believed that she was broken up in 1966 although only classified by Lloyds until 1960. Source: The Red Duster web site.
