The Berlin was built in 1908 for Norddeutsche Lloyd, interned in Norway in 1914 and in 1919 handed over to the British as a war reparation. She re-entered service with the White Star Line in 1921 as the Arabic. Between 1925 and 1929 she served with Red Star Line, still under the name Arabic, before reverting briefly to White Star Line service in 1930; the ship was scrapped in 1931.
