The ship was built by Swan Hunter of Wallsend and launched on 8 May 1906. She was one of an order for two ships, the other being Marylebone.
The Parsons steam turbines of Immingham and Marylebone were direct-drive units that proved uneconomic, and both vessels were soon rebuilt as single-screw steamships with the funnels of each reduced in number from two to one.
