MKC Posted 27 July , 2018 Share Posted 27 July , 2018 Aberdonian was a hospital ship from 16 October 1915 until April 1917, with ship code E801, when its status changed to that of ambulance transport. In the latter role, it was used for cross-channel voyages, from April 1917 to 16 June 1919. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
