The auxiliary iron stemaer City of Santiago was built by Robert Steele & Co.of Greenock to the order of W. Muller. Launched in November 1875, she was registered in London at 2,022 tons gross (1,296 net), measured 279½ feet in length with a 38 foot beam, and was powered from a single screw capable of 10 knots. In 1879 she was sold to M. Whitwell's of Great Western Steamship Line, a Bristol-based venture which was expanding following the opening of the new Avonmouth Dock in 1877. Renamed Gloucester, her maiden voyage from Bristol to New York was in February 1880 and regular sailings continued thereafter until 1885 apart from several round trips to Quebec and Montreal during 1882. Despite reorganisation in 1881 however, the company was not financially successful and revenue had declined to such an extent by 1885-86 that several ships were sold to the Turkish Government. Gloucester was one of them and, renamed Sooghoodlee, can be traced until 1911 at which date she disappears from record, fate unknown.
