"Stratheden", the fourth sister, was also built at Vickers Armstrong with one funnel and she is shown in the postcard above, and was 23,700 gross tons. She was launched 10th June 1937, with her maiden voyage to Brisbane on 24th December 1937. Her last voyage from Australia was on 15th September 1963, after 55 round trip voyages. She was sold to J.S. Latsis of Athens at the end of 1963, given a new name ,eventually being broken up six years later along with her sister "Strathmore".

All the Strath sisters were painted white with buff funnels which gave them the nick-name "White Sisters" which they retained for many years.
