Built in Germany before WW1 as SS Imperator she was seized by the Allies as war reparation for the torpedoed RMS Lusitania.

Those old ocean liners were beautiful ships especially compared to the cruise ships of today. My dad was one of the British Home Children who was sent to Canada at the age of 13. If I can find the name of the ship he sailed on perhaps you could find a photo of it. He was born in Newcastle so I think there's a chance the ship might have been built there. I remember the name of the ship started with the letter M.

I found the information I was looking for. The name of the ship he came to Canada on was the Montrose which sailed out of Liverpool and docked in Quebec arriving on 30 June 1922. He was 13 years of age at the time and one of a group of 100 children.

From wikipedia: SS Imperator was an ocean liner built for the Hamburg America Line (German: Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft or HAPAG) launched in 1912. She was the first of a trio of successively larger Hamburg America ships that included SS Vaterland and SS Bismarck built by the line for transatlantic passenger service. At the time of her launch in May 1912, she was the largest passenger ship in the world superseding the RMS Olympic. During World War I, the ship remained in port in Hamburg. After the war she was briefly commissioned into the United States Navy as USS Imperator (ID-4080) and employed for returning American troops from Europe. Following her U.S. Navy service, Imperator was handed over to Britain's Cunard Line as part of war reparations, and she sailed as the flagship RMS Berengaria for the final decade of her career. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Imperator
