Evidently built for the Royal Navy but World War 1 ended before it was launched, consequently not delivered to the RN but converted into a luxury steam yacht. Owned at one time by the Guinness Family of 'Nigerian Lager' fame.
Still a floating restaurant/wine bar/floating gin palace but renamed as 'Cruz' - see their web site @
