[from entry on PS Slieve Donard]

In 1915 the Admiralty requisitioned Albion, renamed her HMS Albyn and had her converted into a minesweeper.^[1] With the Royal Navy she was stationed at Dover^[3] and in 1917 she was bombed and set on fire by enemy action.^[1]

After the First World War Albyn was not refurbished.^[1] She was scrapped in 1921 but P&A Campbell had her engines salvaged. Ailsa Shipbuilding Company of Troon installed them in PS Glen Gower, which they built for P&A Campbell and launched in 1922.^[1]
