Another source, possible disagreement

@Hugo999: The H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest (1966, Seattle: The Superior Company), Gordon Newell (editor), quoted at https://digitalcollections.lib.washington.edu/digital/collection/transportation/id/905, says, "The MARAMA, a handsome twin-screw Clyde-built liner of 6,437 tons, launched in 1907, replaced the pioneer MIOWERA, which was placed in Australia-New Zealand service as the MAITAI. The vessel served the Canada-Australia routes for the Canadian Australian Royal Mail Steamship Co. The MARAMA arrived in Vancouver on April 8, 1908, remaining on the route with the MAKURA until the outbreak of World War I. Her 8-cylinder triple-expansion engines developed 7,500 horsepower at a speed of 16 knots." Seems to be the same ship -- 6,437 tons is an exact match -- but the thing about the Canadian Australian Royal Mail Steamship Co. doesn't seem to match the article. Any clues? I doubt two ships of exactly the same weight were built on the Clyde the same year and given the same name. - Jmabel | Talk 00:28, 8 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
