Dutch Navy. Damaged in Java by Japanese, reached Australia and refitted but found to be unserviceable and laid up. Sold after the war & leased to P.J.& M.S.S.Co., as a tourist attraction. 1949: Buffetted by heavy winter weather, so it was decided to move it to quieter waters. The tug Warang took it in tow (June 5) but the towline parted and it ran aground at Fairlight, NSW. After several attempts at refloating, taken up the Parramatta River near Ryde and demolished.
