The ship was built by the Caledon Shipbuilding and Engineering Co. Ltd at Dundee and completed in May 1911. She was sold in 1929 to the Pacific Steam Navigation Co. Ltd and renamed 'Champerico', then sold in 1934 to Rafael Torres y Cia, S. A. and renamed 'Vina del Mar'. She was reduced to a storeship hulk at Puerto Chacabuco, Chile, in 1960 and some years later blown aground at there where her abandoned hulk was still extant as late as 1997.

In 1924 Josse painted another portrait of the 'Andorinha' for a friend, which remains with the family.
