The 'Crocodile' and her four sister-ships were constructed in 1866 to transport troops to and from India through the Suez Canal which was then under construction. They remained in service for about 30 years. The five vessels were each distinguished by a different coloured riband around the hull (yellow for Crocodile), and each carried the Star of India painted on her bow.
